"From booking to our stay and finally checking out, Johann made us feel so special.  The River House is a collection of a lifetime and there are to many things to take in at one stay, i recommend going several times ;)  Eclectic, inviting, interesting, historical, creative and welcoming are just a few descriptive of the lodge and its owner. The view from the deck and rooms is exceptional, and the collection of wildlife, just wondering past, is exquisite.  LOVED it and would recommend everyone experience this.

"We had a wonderful stay. The lodge is as special as its owners. We were treated as if we had been friends for years and chatted for hours. The dŽcor is amazing and each piece in the house tells a unique story. The view from the rooms and the deck is breathtaking! We will definitely stay over again."
