Great weekend getaway!

Beautiful home on the river. We had a birthday girls trip and this home was perfect for 9 adults! The perfect location for a 2.5 hour float back to the house. The interior was nicely updated and the beds and furnishings were very comfortable. Thank you for allowing us to stay! We hope to visit again soon.

River house

We had a wonderful long weekend with our family at Blue Water Lodge. Accommodations were perfect and the house was beautiful and clean. We did use grill and smoker, which were in a bit of rough shape (understandable as a rental), but made do with everything and were grateful to have those options. Beautiful upgrades inside. Thanks to the owners for opening up their home to renters like us!!

Great River House

Very nice updating on an older river cabin. Nice kitchen and bathrooms. Huge room with 6 bun k beds, large flatscreen TV and game table. Bet part was the covered patio with stone fireplace and great lawn area on the river bank. We will be back!

Wonderful home and location

We enjoyed our stay so much, beautiful home and location. The owners definitely put a lot of work into updating the home. I would have given it 5 stars but the bedframes in all 3 guest rooms felt like they are about to fall apart. The outdoor griddle was great to fix breakfast on and such a nice easy grassy entry into the river. I loved that the river was shallow so the kids could easily play. Thank you for sharing your home

Amazing rental home

We loved the house and property. It was perfect for our group of three families and we are already planning on coming back next year. The home felt very spacious and had beautiful finishes. We loved the outdoor space and kitchen. The room with bunk beds was a perfect space for the five kids to sleep and hang out. Being right on the river was amazing and we loved how there were chairs to sit in the water. There really isn't anything that I could see as negative.
