We were so happy with our stay! The home was gorgeous- the photos don't do it justice. The house was very clean and well maintained. Our family of 5 (children ages 5, 9 and 11) couldn't get enough of the river in the back. The kayaks were a blast, and we had so much fun playing in the sand and watching the fish swim by. We will definitely be back!
