Great location and the bedrooms were nice. Really enjoyed the kitchen space. Was beautiful in the fall and would be fabulous during warmer weather. The place was clean but a little dusty- that's our only critique!

Great Family River Getaway!

We had a great time and this wonderful property with our two young daughters. Good location on the river, we were there midweek so it was quiet and not too busy at all. The house was a perfect place to stay with everything we needed. We enjoyed it very much and hope to stay again!

Perfect little house at a great location on the river. Spent the day floating in front and relaxing while the teens went to Schlitterbahn. House is clean and well equipped in the kitchen. Firepit was perfect for S'mores.
