The sophisticated eat-in kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a floating island breakfast bar, and a formal dining table—ideal for cooking family meals or preparing snacks for your day on the river. Spacious bedrooms offer peaceful retreats, and the bunk room is sure to be a hit with kids looking to host sleepovers and make lasting memories.

Just steps away, a private bungalow offers extra space, complete with its own kitchenette and full bathroom—perfect for guests who want added privacy.

In the evenings, gather around the outdoor firepit to roast marshmallows, sip drinks, and watch the stars come alive. This is true riverfront living—relaxed, scenic, and unforgettable.
