First time renting a property. Enjoyed it tremendously. Enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Grandchildren enjoyed time together with cousins in the large room with multiple beds so they could spend quality time together, Papa, Granny, brother, sister & spouses enjoyed the wonderful deck area for relaxing and viewing the river. Great communication with property manager too! Highly recommend!

Everything was great. There 2 super minor things to critique. We ran out of hot water when showering with that many guys to shower after long day out hunting (we just staggered our showers over longer time frame for the second day) and there was loose step stone on the steps. But like I said great place, all of the guys look forward to renting this place for next year too! Thanks for letting us stay!
