Summary: It had everything. Plenty of bedrooms, kayaks, canoe, fire pit by the river, a river, proximity to town, plenty of birds and nature for my photographer cousin and a nicely renovated upstairs and downstairs. The downstairs also has a full kitchen, complete with a dishwasher. A living area complete with a pool table and a TV room. There's 2 bedrooms down, one bedroom has 2 queen beds, with a bed in the TV area. Four bedrooms up with a master king bed and ensuite bathroom. 3.5 bathrooms. All bedrooms are very nicely sized. Oh...and a sunroom. It was the perfect place for us and all our family. We all had a most awesome time. Oh...and there's AC. Their home felt like home and made our vacation outstanding.
