Just what we needed!
Just lost my wife to cancer and the family decided on a nice getaway. Mother in law ended up finding this place and I’m glad she did. The hospitality was amazing and the kids had a blast at the property especially the indoor pool. Everything we needed for a nice getaway was there and more as the property owner was always in contact and making sure we had what we needed at all times.

Halloween 2022
This place was like living the American Dream. Wish the kids could have stayed longer but they had to eat their pumpkin waffles and go to school the next morning! Adults stayed and enjoyed morning water aerobics. Pat was amazing and helped as soon as we texted him. We will 100 % be back to enjoy the river and more. Thanks to the Postons for their great hospitality!

Beautiful property
Beautiful property and gorgeous indoor pool. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the basement. The owner was very accomodating and attentive, but not obtrusive at all. I would highly recommend.

Excellent family getaway
Excellent family getaway for two adults and four kids (ages 10 - 1 years old). We primarily booked this for the pool. It is one of the best indoor, private pools that we have been to in a rental. Although it could be cold during the winter, they had multiple space heaters available for us which was more than enough. The kids didn’t seem to mind at all. Plenty of fun things to do in the pool. We didn’t enjoy the outside activities as much since the kids were preoccupied with a pool and it was cold, but could see them having a lot of fun in warmer times. The highlight is the owner who is very attentive to your needs. I will definitely book again.
