This was the best spot for a relaxing girls weekend! We enjoyed slow mornings drinking coffee, reading on the back porch, kayaking and enjoying the pier, fun hikes within walking distance of the house, and evenings around the fire pit! There was ample room for 8 adults and the house had everything we needed! We are debating where to go next year or if we should just come back to Mentone!

Our family loved our stay! The house is walking distance to the Falls and trails. We enjoyed the fire pit and beautiful views of the river. Our kids are already asking to come back in the summer. The house has a well stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, and plenty of towels.
