After a day on the river, unwind in the private hot tub, gather around the fire pit, relax on the screened porch overlooking the water, or enjoy the private riverside deck and dock. An outbuilding provides excellent storage for kayaks, tubes, fishing gear, lawn equipment, and other outdoor essentials, adding even more convenience to this riverfront retreat. A pull-in carport and gravel driveway provide easy access and ample parking.
