Very nice accommodations. Exceeded our expectations! Our trip was fairly short and the location was perfect to travel in and out of town for fishing, a visit to the casino and a ride over to the Visitors Center to see the elk, etc. Enjoyed seeing the otters in the river at the house. This home is perfect for 3 adult couples. Would love to stay here again! Host was very nice and communication was great!
