Great home with a beautiful view

The house was as advertised - clean and well-stocked. The check-in & communication with Betty was easy & quick. What made the trip for us was the incredible view out of the back of the house! Note that there are a few rental cabins in very close proximity to the house, which are not shown in pictures or otherwise referenced.

Great for Groups

We were three couples with kids in the area for a baseball tournament and the property was perfect for our needs! The boys loved fishing in the river on their downtime and we all enjoyed hanging out by the fire pit at night and cornhole tournaments (we brought our own boards with us). The hosts are amazing, quick to respond, house is well stocked with all the essentials, and allows for you to have a stay you will enjoy. Groceries are only about 15 minutes away, so close enough for us to plan accordingly. After long, hot days on ball fields, this was perfect to unwind and relax, cook our own meals, and have some fun as families… things you cannot replicate in a hotel. We will be back.

Many decorations are taken directly from the farm which you will not find anywhere else. We want to share the history of the area, let you enjoy the breathtaking views, relaxation, world class fly fishing, and much sought after hunting while visiting our home.
