    Had a wonderful time!! From the owner to the magnificent sounds and views. The house was stocked with everything you would possibly need. The view out the glass doors and windows would make a great postcard. Very fast response time for any questions. Coming back!!!

    Fantastic mountain getaway. This was our second stay and we just love this place. It has everything you could need. We fished out back, played horse shoes, roasted s'mores, cooked, grilled, lazed in the hammock. The sound of the river is very relaxing. Really special place. 20 min from Highlands off of scenic route 64.
