This property was wonderful for our group of 13. Plenty of room for everyone. The guy's in our group really enjoyed the game room, movie theater and the fishing. Brian & Sara were very easy to work with. Even when I was having issues finalizing the rental they were very patient with me an worked with me through the issue. I would definitely rent this property again in the future. if you have a large group I recommend this property.

Loved it!
We had such a lovely time here! My family gets together for an annual Thanksgiving/Christmas weekend since it’s so hard to get together during the actual holidays with kids and not living super close to each other. This was perfect for our large family, 5 individual families with kids ranging from 2-16 at the time. The setting is lovely, right on the river, and the kids were obsessed with the movie room and pool table. Everything was clean and inviting, and we just had the best time being together! The hosts were also amazing, answering some questions I had before we left with extreme promptness and courtesy, and it definitely felt as if I could reach out if we needed anything at all. Highly recommend!

It was about 14 of us and we had a great time. The owners were very responsive. The Internet in the Theater area was a little lagging for our viewing of the SUPERBOWL, but we used our own hotspot! Problem solved!! We definitely plan to return!

Spacious House and Property
We enjoyed our stay over New Years with a group of friends kids aged 3-16. There is something for everyone to do on the property, even during the winter. The house is spacious and we had plenty of room to spread out, and the bedrooms/bathrooms were all nicely done and comfortable. We particularly appreciated the adequate seating for everyone for meals between the two seating areas. The location is secluded, and the river was scenic. Neighbors were nice and adjoining properties were well kept.

Great Family Vacation
Each year we choose a place for our family of three generations to vacation together.This house and riverfront property certainly met our expectations. The eight kids who ranged in age from 7 to 15 all had a wonderful time from swimming in the pool, to watching a movie in the movie theater room, to playing by and in the river. The house was well equipped and it was easy to communicate with the house management.

Great for a large group!
This was a family gathering and included my 80, 82 year old in-laws. We enjoyed the pool table, the diningroom table and the riverfront. We needed more than one knife for food prep. I would have appreciated liquid dish soap and a sponge or dish cloth. A few towel racks were broken, the blue chairs were broken but hard to see and I think I yelled as my 82 year old father-in-law was about to sit in one. The A/C in the pool house broke and we really needed some sort of bath mat. My mother-in-law was uncomfortable getting out of the shower without a rug. The riverfront is amazing but the backyard is full of holes - beware.

Place was great
For many years our summer family get together has been at a beach house. This year we decided to do something different. This house was perfect. It was large, with plenty of space for everyone. Besides being able to book for less than a full week, major pluses were, river access for kayaking and tubing. Kayaks and tubes provided at the property. Plenty of bathrooms, the place was modern and clean. 2 coffee pots allowed for plenty of brew in the morning. Two large dining tables allowed everyone to sit and enjoy our meals together. The fire pit by the garage, separate game room and gathering space was also a nice plus. The best comment we can give is that we are already planning our trip back for next summer. See you then.

River Rats Week
We loved the location so close to the river and other attractions! Between pool, hot tub, fishing and kayaking, fire pit and fireplace, and catching lightning bugs and frogs and playing outdoor games in the front and back yards, we were always having fun! Not to mention the pool tournament and movie room! Our kids and adults all had a blast! Beautifully furnished and lots of room for all 17 of us! We could have used another refrigerator in the kitchen and more hooks for hanging wet towels. Otherwise had everything we needed! Hope to come back someday and will recommend to our friends and family!

Couples' Retreat
An ideal house for our married couple's retreat! Plenty of bedrooms & bathrooms to accommodate 9 couples. Kitchen is spacious; 2 ovens and large counter space made it easy to prepare meals. Large dining areas provided lots of seating options, and living room provided space for us all to meet. Loved playing games around the table and playing pool in the game room! The kitchen pots, pans, silverware, and glasses could be better stocked, but otherwise all had a wonderful weekend!
