The home is very nice, clean and pet friendly. It had all the amenities that you needed for a stay. They were easy to work with and very nice. We loved the area and it had all types of wild life. There were deer every evening, and raccoon tracks on the porch a couple of mornings. The water was awesome and we enjoyed kayaking and sitting on the dock. We had all our children and grandchildren over Labor day for water play, volleyball, and a cook out. The porch was plenty big enough to handle everyone. The owners father came and collected our trash and kept the grass cut for us. We stayed for a month and have nothing negative to say about any of our stay. We hope to go back next year for a vacation!

Labor Day

Perfect place for the Labor Day end of Summer weekend! We brought rafts and floated the River a couple of times. Kyakers went fishing and paddling up and down the river. We sang, laughed, watched the Virginia Tech game, and had a great time! Location was pretty much in the center of all our houses! The house had everything we needed. Great pontoon-dock and ease of access to the water.

We had an amazing time. We stayed for July 4th. Enough room for everyone. One of the bathroom toilets broke a seal and the owner was on it ASAP! Lovely people. Will definitely be back.
