The house was beautiful! The porch, with a wonderful view of the river was the perfect place to drink coffee and start my day. The host was great with communications! It was the perfect place for a family-oriented stay.
The porch is the perfect place to hang out and drink coffee in the mornings.
It has so many different areas to eat. This one is right next to the river.
It was beautiful, cloudy morning.

Had a great time

Most of our party had a class during the day and returned about 6:00 each night. The house was clean inside, we had a plumbing issue but no problem it was resolved. The out side needed some TLC and the dock was damaged and could not be used. The view on the landing was fabulous. The ceiling fan in the den shakes and rattles. All in all we had a good stay!
