The house was just as described and on a beutiful property. We didn't get a chance to walk to the river, but enjoyed spending time at the amazing firepit. There were even kitties that came to visit - one of the highlights of our stay. The house was fully stocked and very comfortable. Check-ion was smooth and Lisa was so easy to communicate with. We will definitely look for the house next time we are staying in the area!

Was a one night stop but would have stayed several days if time permitted. The horses were beautiful and the dogs and cats were friendly and playful. Grandchildren said it was an awesome place to stay and are still talking about their stay at the farm. Highly recommended! Will revisit when travelling again!

This property was fantastic for our family; it was close to town and many adventures in the area. The kitchen was well stocked, the house was very clean and well organized, easily accessible, even with snow and ice. Lisa was very welcoming and accommodating...she even introduced us to her 6-wk-old pups.
