Our stay was AMAZING. Everything was perfect from the moment we checked in. Beautiful house, an amazing host, clean supplies. We wanted to extend our stay so bad but couldn’t due to availability. Would love to come back in the summer for sure 💝

We stayed here with our friends (and dogs) for a birthday weekend and it was the perfect airbnb. Lots of land for snow shoeing, picturesque views, amazing amenities, and Jenny was so quick to respond when we had something pop up. Would definitely recommend!!

The photos of this place don’t do it justice. There are several spring fed creeks that meander through the property that give it this incredibly serene, magical feel. The property is a mix of hemlock, beech and oak that is only more stunning when covered in snow. Staring at the river through the sauna or from the hot tub was an exceptional way to end each day.

We had such a wonderful time here! The place was beautiful and well exceeded our expectations. The house was amazing with plenty of room. The bunkhouse was an excellent add on that allowed some more playroom for our kids. The sauna and hot tub were perfect. Would highly recommend anyone to stay here. Great communication with the host. We're already planning our summer trip here. Thank you so much!

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb and couldn’t have asked for a better setting. The property sits right by the river, and spending time in the hot tub and sauna overlooking the water was incredibly relaxing and peaceful. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, rejuvenating getaway.
