We had a great time. The Occasional Otter was one of the best houses we've ever stayed at. We will definitely come back for another stay

What a wonderful place. We sat on the front porch in the afternoon and could here the new river dam. The kitchen was very well outfitted with all the utensils we needed and the place was very clean.

The stay here a was very pleasant and peaceful one. We attended a wedding that was right down at the river. The house has all the amenities you can think of including a kitchen stocked with the basics such as salt, pepper, and ketchup. The neighbors are very friendly. The host have a guest book be sure to sign!!!! They also have a table with listed seasonal activities and other things to look forward to. The only thing I would to be cautious of is the roads be aware that you are going up a mountain and the roads are winding, we did encounter a few deer that darted across the road on the way down the mountain. There are a couple of local small stores in town but the major stores, gas stations and markets are located about 20 mins away in each directions. Serenity is what we experienced!!!
