    What a wonderful place to stay! My husband and I enjoyed a two night visit without young adult children who loved floating the Peluxy River right off the back patio. Walkable to everything we needed! The home is warm and inviting and had all of the amenities needed. Thank you, Heather, for your hospitality.

    The location of the home was perfect, so close to downtown and a 5-10 minute drive to the outdoor activities on our itinerary--Dinosaur Valley State Park, Fossil Rim and Dinosaur World. The peaceful and well-maintained backyard with right-on-the-river views was perfect for relaxing after our busy days. Our only regret was that we didn't book at least one more day.
