We visited the property for a couples get away. It was in excellent location and very private, with a beautiful river and wooded area just outside the back door. The home was roomy and as advertised. The heater on the deck did not work and there were no matches or lighters available for the fire pit, so ensure you come prepared with your own. I would recommend this property.
