Location

For us the location was perfect and convenient. The place was nice and had everything required, just needed to wash kitchen items before use. Peaceful river with daily dose of Canadian geese visits. We enjoyed but couldn't figure out the TV with 4 remotes and unfamiliar services. All in all, a nice place to stay.

Has everything you need

This property was close to town, right on the creek and the lower level that we stayed in had a nice view. It was warm and cozy and had good water pressure. My only concern was that It was not as clean as I expected, so I cleaned up a bit when we first arrived. Overall, a great value.

We enjoyed our stay

We were nervous about being on the bottom part of the home, but we did not hear any noises or stomping with the people above us. It was really peaceful and short distance to so many places. We enjoyed looking for gems in the stream and founds some beautiful Ruby's. We also walked the stream and fished.
