Summary: The house is very nice and has many conveniences such as a wine fridge, large ice maker, comfy bedding, fire pit and outdoor seating. It’s not a large house but the design makes good use of space and the back porch is large with beautiful views. One thing to note, the road to get to the house is a bit of a drive and is very graveled with lots of big rocks—I would not want to drive a sedan or vehicle that sits low to the ground. Easy walk to the river to fish although we couldn’t get many bites. Be sure to bring laundry supplies and coffee for Kuerig if you want that. Host was reaponsive and helpful.
