Great visit
Very nice place to stay, right on the river. Close to town, but not to close. It's definitely worth going back.

Adorable Farm House on the river
Was a great few nights, The house was very clean, beds comfortable, 2 bathrooms, plenty of storage and ,very spacious, nice fireplace to use as it was a bit chilly. Older quaint farmhouse, loved the piano, and the decor representing the owner who lived there before. Outside by the river was nice, would have loved to see a little bit of tidiness outdoors. The property is a good size, a good weedwacking would show the property so much better. We would love to come back.

Quiet, Peaceful & Just What We Wanted
We stayed three nights and had a lovely time. We were just looking for a quiet getaway and found exactly what we wanted here. We canoed one day nearby, floated in the river in the backyard one day, and stayed in one day just lounging around. The house was well equipped and clean. Check I was simple and the neighborhood was safe. Beautiful view. Thank you, Emily.

Semi retired couple
We were there to rest. This quiet peaceful setting is just what we needed. Nicely stocked kitchen for meal prep and eating outside on the deck listening to the sound of the river. When the rain arrived we still enjoyed the scenery via large windows.

Fun on the River
Property was clean, well-appointed with everything needed for a weekend with a family of four! The owner was easily contacted and responsive. The river was PERFECT for the kids to swim and fish. I'm pretty sure we spent 6 hours straight out on the dock and in the water. Beds were very comfortable, and having two bathrooms was perfect. We highly recommend this property!
