We had a small girls trip getaway and had a ball on the river. Bev's house is beautiful. We had plenty of room to spread out and sleep comfortably but we were always outside sitting on the deck watching wildlife and getting fishing stories from neighbors as they floated by. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed making meals in between river fun. It was hard to leave life on the river but we've decided to make it an annual event. We visited Bev's art studio and got a jump on our holiday shopping too. BONUS!!

We stayed at Slip Z for a staff retreat. It was the perfect blend of quiet relaxation and staff development time. The hosts are super to work with and gave us our space to enjoy the time while there. The kayaks were a fun distraction from work and the house is very clean, the kitchen well stocked and the beds comfortable. I would definitely stay there again when I'm in the area.

Ladies weekend this year was great. The home on the water is just beautiful and fully stocked with everything you could need plus more. The artwork and art studio were an unexpected treat. Beverly and Lloyd made us feel extra special. We highly recommend.
