The location was beautifully set next to the Duck River and although we did not get to enjoy the water, we did enjoy the lovely fall colors and peaceful serenity. The house had everything we needed for our stay and I would certainly love to come back.

Duck River

Our stay was amazing. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch watching the storms. Playing with my grandchildren in the house. The property was so peaceful and relaxing. The dryer broke when we first got there and the owner had it replaced the next day! Excellent communication! We are hoping to come stay again during the summer so we can enjoy actually the river.(We stayed in end of march beginning of April, which as my son said is rainy system for them.) but 3 of the people we had with us did use the kayaks and had fun, to me it was too cold. When you walk in there is a map with tags for you to put where you are from. That was awesome to see and add to!! Thank you for the use of your home we had a great family gathering!

Weekend Getaway

Overall clean place, house has a few minor maintenance issues but has a ton of potential and great place on the duck river. It would be great if the kayaks were able to be in a shed down by the river and an access stair would be nice but we very much enjoyed our stay and would return!

We stayed in the area to visit family for a wedding. We had some trouble finding the door at night because of the lack of outside lighting. The kitchen lacked baking sheets and other cookware. The beds were a little uncomfortable, and the bathroom and kitchen could have used more cleaning attention. The basement smelled a little moldy, but that is expected on a river. Overall, we enjoyed the layout and the books! The porch overlooking the river was great for morning coffee and evening games. We also appreciated the swing. The property is also great for hanging outside. We enoyed our stay for the most part.
