This home was great for what we needed! Lots of bedrooms, fun things to do such as ping pong and the hot tub! It was great! Only thing is the water does smell like sulfur in the bathrooms for showers and baths! However everything else was great and exactly what we needed!

The location of this home is so cozy and peaceful. Right on the River makes for beautiful views from the deck and hot tub. We had a great time with our friends and family after our wedding! Thank you to the wonderful hosts!
