This is the perfect getaway home! We were able to enjoy nature, roast marshmallows at the fire pit, and people watch the kayakers. Close enough to Covington to get groceries, but far enough that it’s quiet and if you love to stargaze….this is the place!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The property is gorgeous. The pictures don’t do it justice…it’s amazing. We spent a long weekend with family. We rented kayaks, visited the natural hot springs and cooked out. We made great memories. Will definitely return!

Absolutely beautiful retreat - we were there for a family wedding and were so lucky to find this place. We didn't want to leave. The view of the water and mountain were amazing. The house is very well stocked with everything we needed. Clean and very comfortable. Just plan to pack a little bug spray if visiting during summer months.

We had an amazing time celebrating a family birthday. The property and the home is amazing! We lived outside for the most part with yard games. The communication with the host was so easy. Thank you!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this river house. If you’re looking for a quiet, secluded getaway, this place is perfect. It was true escape from everything, while only being a short car ride into town for groceries or supplies. The view was even better than advertised— between the river and the stunning cliff, pictures don’t quite do it justice. There was also plenty of space, both inside the house and outdoors, to accommodate groups of all sizes. We especially loved the convenience of being able to walk out the back door and be steps from the river, allowing us to cast a line for a trout or put in a kayak to float. Both fire pit locations allowed us to gather around the fire and create great memories at night time with peaceful sound of the babbling river in the background. Overall, this was a fantastic stay, and we’d absolutely come back again. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful retreat with beautiful scenery and fun outdoor activities.
