This home is truly the cleanest,most well appointed home we have rented on Rainbow River for the last 5 years we have been coming here.It was our 55th wedding anniversary and all our children and 11 grandchildren were here.We cooked together,boated to the head springs, and watched the kids from our back porch run,jump in the river that was not too deep and kayaked all day long.It was a magical vacation and all agreed we would do again next year!!Thanks Amber!!

Paradise on the river!
This property is a jewel. We were a party of four families and the house had plenty of room for all. The oxbow was the perfect place to relax and play in the water either before going out on the river or at the end of the day. The owners were wonderful; when the gas grill stopped working they delivered another grill within an hour. I can’t recommend this place and the owners enough!
