Such a beautiful property and home. The kitchen comes with everything needed to cook with! I even used the kitchen aide mixer and made homemade bread for my family. The river is pristine, very nice for fishing. My 8 year old granddaughter thought the pond was awesome and she caught several frogs. She named one of them Jeff!

We rented the River House for a golf outing at Arcadia. The lodge is hard to get into at Arcadia it is hard to get close accommodations. We had a group of middle aged guys - so we wanted convenient, clean and a number of beds. We made a massive steak dinner with potatoes, vegetables, desserts one night and found the kitchen well stocked to handle it. The owners have put a lot of attention to detail around providing niche items and very explicit directions for check-in/out so we had zero questions.We really enjoyed the small pool table and foosball table in the basement. We didn't plan to spend much time outside the house, but the mosquitos were fierce!!
