Summary: Great weekend getaway. The river was high enough to enjoy some paddling. We utilized one of the available kayaks and our inflatable SUP and went paddling south crossing the low water crossing road and a dam farther down. Really enjoyed the day on the water. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom were well furnished.We would definitely stay here again.
