Summary: The property was excellent and exceeded our expectations. Has a Grill, beds were fantastic, I can vouch for the house staying cool even with it being very hot outside. 86 degrees farenheit and without a/c the house stayed 15 degrees cooler by keeping windows and doors closed. River was beautiful and extremely quiet and private. Will re-book in future. House was very nice with great decorating and a modern "cabin" feel.
