6/10 Okay

Liked: Location
The area was beautiful but the pictures and river access are a little inaccurate at the moment. The big floods last year brought a ton of rock into the creek bed and surrounding area and it is actually really difficult to walk to the edge of the creek. The fire pit was awesome though and the house was comfortable.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Yes, the river has changed since the massive flooding last fall. Unfortunately the repairs the county did moved the main riverbed further away from the levy. We are expecting additional repairs and should have updated photos once they are complete.

Family vacation

This was a great property for our family vacation. The house was very comfortable for our family of 6 and dogs. Being able to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the river flowing was the icing on the cake.
