Checking in was easy. When we arrived Ed was there to greet us with a warm welcome. He showed us how to use the hot tub, and had already lit the fire in the outdoor fireplace for us to enjoy. He pointed out the kayaks, and where other things were in Morels and said that we were free to use any of the vegetables from the outdoor gardens if we wished.We were delighted that there was fresh baked lemon cake set out on the table, and white wine and beer in the refrigerator for us to enjoy. Also, there as a fruit basket and other nice goodies in the very nice kitchen. Later on, Ed brought us some fresh picked green beans, banana peppers and tomatoes from the garden for us to use. The cabin is beautiful and comfortable.While we were here we took out the kayaks, played horseshoes, enjoyed the outdoor fireplace and fished (I caught three catfish from shore by the cabin). We also cooked on the propane grill, and on the stove in the very nice kitchen. We went to France Park, where we swam in the quarry and hiked on the trails. We also went to Science Project Brewery (very nice beers and pizza), Sportsman Inn, Riverside Restaurant (frog legs, bison burger), and Oak and Barrel (alligator fritters and lobster mushrooms). All were fabulous!It is obvious that Ed put a lot of hard work, care, and love into building and creating such a beautiful space by the river. His attention to detail, thoughtfulness and generosity made our stay was wonderful!Luis and Lisa Ayllon
