    Check in is effortless. You feel completely independent even with the owners above you. The most gorgeous view out of the window. The host is absolutely accommodating and friendly. Very close to town but it doesn’t seem that way. Home away from home.

    The VRBO was truly like home. This place was secluded with a large stream in the back. The host was SO very helpful and friendly. Would like to stay there as often as I can.

    Very nice home and beautiful views of the stream and everything we needed it was right there. Not far from Dry Falls. Quiet neighborhood very peaceful. My family couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. Would love to stay again when we come back.

    For us the location was perfect and convenient. The place was nice and had everything required, just needed to wash kitchen items before use. Peaceful river with daily dose of Canadian geese visits. We enjoyed but couldn't figure out the TV with 4 remotes and unfamiliar services. All in all, a nice place to stay.

    This property was close to town, right on the creek and the lower level that we stayed in had a nice view. It was warm and cozy and had good water pressure. My only concern was that It was not as clean as I expected, so I cleaned up a bit when we first arrived. Overall, a great value.

    We were nervous about being on the bottom part of the home, but we did not hear any noises or stomping with the people above us. It was really peaceful and short distance to so many places. We enjoyed looking for gems in the stream and founds some beautiful Ruby's. We also walked the stream and fished.
