Beyond Expectations!
Every amenity was provided! The outside of the house is appealing but the inside will surprise you with beautiful woodwork and farmhouse fixtures! The beds are heavenly to sleep on and the AC cools the large space incredibly well! We had the best time ever!

Great Property!
This home was just as listed. Plenty of space and things to do. Unfortunately the river flooded days before we arrived but it did not stop us from enjoying the property. We couldn’t kayak but that was not a deal breaker. The host was very transparent and accommodating. I look forward to visiting again so that I can experience the river more!

Great weekend trip
Very comfortable stay for a family (8 adults, 1 child) weekend trip. I was pleasantly suprised with how clean the property was and the accommodations provided. Plenty to do (air hockey was a hit, hot tub, kayaks, tubes) AND great cooking equipment. There was even a bbq smoker present. The river was spectacular and there were so many places to sit and enjoy the view. I would absolutely rent here again. Thanks Teresa for a wonderful, much needed, family vacation.

Fun
It was great for five, but with two toilets and one working shower, it really can’t accommodate 14. Jacuzzi over the river was great. Some updated linens would be an easy upgrade. There was no dishwasher detergent or laundry soap. Location was ideal.

Great time on the river rain or shine
Spacious house with very large decks and porches for families to spread out. There is a wide variety of sleeping areas and lots of entertainment options even on a rainy day. There is plenty of yard space and parking. The hot tub beside the river is fun, as is the floating dock and deck on the river. Kids caught small fish in the river and had a blast. Owner and staff very helpful and responsive.

We had a wonderful family and friends time together at the lodge. Everything was great. It’s perfect for a big crowd of people. The only downside is that it’s only 2 bathrooms and the upstairs bathroom the shower do not have enough pressure . But overall, we have a blast. Highly recommended!!!

We had hosted our bridal party for our wedding to stay with us the day prior to our wedding, and we loved everything about this house. It was super cute and fit. Everybody super comfortable, and the floating dock was probably one of our favorites, and just the overall quietness of the surrounding area!

Loved it!
We had such a wonderful experience at this property and with everything all around. The pictures don’t do a justice to the awesomeness of the house, the yard, the patio and the porch. We had a one year old to an 80 year old and EVERYONE enjoyed the stay. The kitchen, the table area and the living room are all one large open space. It was great for the amount of people we had there. We utilized all the areas of the house and property. Everything we needed was there and any questions that came up I was very easily able to communicate to Teresa and she responded promptly. Everyone in our group would be happy to stay here again and as we have family moving to the area we very well may stay there again. As a side note there is a Dollar General not to far away that has more groceries than I have ever seen in a Dollar General which proved to be useful- even some produce items. Otherwise, our ‘big’ grocery trip was about a 20 minute drive away. Just plan accordingly for that! Again- we loved our stay and I was soo soo soo happy with our booking!!

Perfect family get away
We loved our stay! It was the perfect family get away for our family and teens. We enjoyed the dock, campfire and hot tub on the cooler days and of course paddling in the river in the sun! The proximity to paddle the Itchnetuckne was terrific (only 10 min drive) We also brought a small boat and had a great time exploring the Santa Fe. We are already planning a return trip!
