Beautiful place to stay. All rooms were different, ours was wonderful, the mansion was absolutely amazing. Thkitchen was big, the living room was huge, the whole house was fantastic. The grounds were very well kept up, and it went on to the river. And a big hot tub.

Excellent experience! I reserved the eagles nest, very comfortable bed, huge walk in closet, double head shower, mini fridge with complementary water and Apple juice, had breakfast on the balcony “not provided” over looking the water, hot tub was pre warmed, although I did not have the time to experience that awesomeness, full kitchen, huge comfortable living room with big bay windows & fluffy sectional sofas, and I was able to park my oversized vehicle across the street not to be in the way of any other guest, thanks Jen again for your hospitality and accommodations.

This has been my 2nd stay at the house and I’ll tell you, the magnificence of the place never really goes away. We rented almost every room in the house for my birthday and and the weekend of a lifetime. The rooms are insane! Comfortable, spacious and private. Or we could all come together and enjoy the kitchen and the massive family room. My only criticism is that I live in spokane and the house and property need to somehow be moved closer to me. I’m currently in the process of trying to figure out how to set up a permanent residency under the care of the incredible management team and the people cleaning and landscaping the property. If I could give 8 stars, I would. I can’t wait to come back.

The propery is very unique. We were the only ones staying there for most of our stay, but if there is other guests it may be a little too cozy. The bathrooms for some rooms are not en suite so you have to cross the hall to get to them and some rooms share a bathroom. The decor is very dated. We had no heat, and had to get a space heater to warm the room. The bedding was very worn and musty smelling. The jacuzzi was very nice and the propery was very spacious and the grass was amazing!

We had a great experience! Beautiful suits, gorgeous views. The owner is super cool! He droved us in his four-wheeler to a gorgeous sun set view. Very welcoming hostess. A classy and elegant atmosphere at the same time with great outdoors experience. The bedrooms were amazing! A coffee maker on each room and all different levels of the Suit. We like cooking so we enjoyed a complete kitchen to it fullest. Same the hot tub. We are definitely coming back!
