Just What We Needed

Our stay at the river house was amazing. The space itself was well stocked, it was clean, the beds were comfy, and the view was beautiful! Our dog loved roaming around the yard and park picking up all of the scents:) Check in was simple and communication with Dorothy was smooth from start to finish. We loved it and look forward to another visit!!

Riverside getaway

My wife and i wanted to spend our 5 year anniversary somewhere quiet surrounded by nature, i will say we were so impressed with the property, not only was the living quarters beautiful but the location on the river was an anglers paradise, while we were there we caught 3 different species of fish, enjoyed some great dinner and at night got to gaze up at the stars, i would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a great getaway!!

River House Retreat

We really loved being right on the river. The grand girls liked being tucked away in the upstairs loft room at night and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Our hostess could not have done more to make us feel welcome and assisted quickly in our requests for supplies for our longer stay.

Beautiful location, and easy check-in process. There are 2 bathrooms, HOWEVER one of them requires you to exit the house and go into a space in the parking area to shower. The bathroom in the house also has some issues draining. The house needs some TLC over all. But the views are gorgeous and for what you pay it’s ok.

Awesome River House

We stayed here for a Crutchfield Brother's Fishing Weekend. Loved the house. Big kitchen made food prep easy. We fished off the dock and caught about 20 sun fish and catfish. We visited the nearby springs and watched football on Saturday. This house has everything you need.

Quiet and peaceful getaway

The little house on the river is very homey and cozy. The river view from the windows is amazing. So many stars to gaze at during the night and the peaceful flow of the river washes away all your worries. Great place for a couples getaway or a family gathering. Dorothy the host was amazing. Very attentive and kind. I would certainly stay again. The house is very close to springs and very country. Just what I was looking for. Thanks again for opening your home to a lovely vacation.
