Summary: Wonderful property; absolutely gorgeous

Summary: We stayed two nights at “The Ponder.” It was a perfect spot for us. We were in the area for some family business, so we were sad that we didn’t get to spend as much time at the property as we wanted. We could have sat for hours on the deck overlooking the river. Just so beautiful and relaxing. We did work in a hike; down to the river and along about a mile along the riverbed. We had planned to go for a short hike in a nearby park, but why? When you have your own park to enjoy peacefully! Entry instructions were clear and easy to follow and everything was in order in the house. The home is the perfect size for a couple to enjoy some time together. We have to be back that direction again later this summer and are hoping that the event we are attending is close enough to stay here again…if it works logistically, we will definitely be back… Highly recommend!

Summary: I can't say enough good things about this property. The owner was very communicative and made the check in process buttery-smooth. The design of the unit is very unique, and opens up onto a stunning view of the river below. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio in the evening watching the wildlife. The deer are literally everywhere, and the birding was excellent. The owner was accommodating in loaning us an air mattress for our son since there was only 1 bed-- and it was a very well made one.Inside the rental, the kitchen was fully stocked with anything you could want. The room was immaculately clean and comfortable. We only stayed for one night... but honestly, I could have done a week without flinching.If you want peace and quiet in a beautiful bit of nature, this is for you.
