The home is ideally situation on a beautiful spot with great views from the house, the yard, and the dock/beach areas. The dock and little beachy area are down some easy stairs, and is great for getting the kayaks off, fishing or just hanging out. The group did a little swimming, but experienced some moon jellyfish each of our days. They are pretty harmless and the stings are very mild, though. I found myself sitting for hours in the bright Adirondack chairs looking out onto the river. We made s'mores one night at the fire pit. The kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment and lots of your everyday spices and condiments. The beds were very comfortable, we appreciated the ceiling fans in the upstairs bedrooms, and there was lots of room in both living rooms. Leigh Ann communicated timely!
