We loved this house! It’s on a beautiful piece of property by the River. It was great for fly fishing or just sitting on the deck. We had 8 adults and found all the rooms to fit us comfortably. It had a huge dining table that was perfect for dinners and games. We also loved the wrap around porch. It was a great spot for coffee in the mornings. It made for a most enjoyable weekend!
