Family Escape
5/5 This was 1/2 way between me and my PA family so we chose to meet here! What a great escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We spent the days relaxing and enjoying nature and the evenings by the fire pit and nights playing games and putting puzzles together. Great space and enough room for everyone! If your looking to escape to nature and spend some quite down time this is your spot! We will be back!
Stay at McDowell

Nice Getaway
5/5 We decided to rent this home for our annual ladies trip to the Highland County Maple Festival. We took advantage of the nice weather and enjoyed the new patio furniture. We had 11 ladies in the house and the space was adequate for our needs.
Perfect for what we needed
5/5 The house was exactly what we needed for our church ski trip, very cozy and very warm. The host was super helpful and accommodating. Would recommend.
GREAT STAY
5/5 My husband and I stayed at the river retreat for a long weekend for our anniversary. We enjoyed fishing in the river! I forgot before leaving that the house did not have TV, because I was going to bring one with me. It actually ended up being a much better vacation because we did not have the TV. We spent every night at the fire pit enjoying each others company with well stocked firewood! Thanks for the use of the house!
