We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. Loved our stay, it's our second time here. The house is very comfortable and a great location.

The house has a great layout as the master bedroom and the other two are on opposite sides. It is super clean and cozy! The only reason it is not 5 stars is because of no AC and while that doesn't make this a bad choice, 5 to me as a rating means it has all the bells and whistles. I would stay again and if no AC in the summer is not a deal breaker for you, this is a great, quiet area.

This was a great place for our group of 3 couples to hang out while we enjoyed local cross country skiing for the weekend. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a good open area by the fireplace for the group. We did find the dinner table is too small for 6 adults (and only 5 chairs ), but we were able to adjust and still enjoy our time there.

Our stay was amazing! the view of the river was nice to wake up too! they made our stay easy and comfortable to be at. Just one thing they didn't have was air conditioning, they do have ceiling fans and at night was cool at least. Also warning the neighbor next door is kind of rude, he called the cops on us for being too close to his property and also heard that he is not very friendly but other than that he did not bother us.
