This home is literally two steps from the Mackenzie River in a really beautiful setting. There are lots of birds, including hummingbirds which visit the feeder all day long and are a lot of fun to watch. The noise from the road on the other side of the river is there, but only from time to time, and it didn't interfere with our enjoyment of the property at all. The back porch is wonderful. There are grocery stores and a couple of restaurants very near the property. The kitchen is well-equipped and we did a lot of cooking. Literally our only complaint is that while the ventilation setting has an AC mode, this blows hot air instead of cooling the cabin; we had several hot days and the lack of AC was an annoyance. But overall we recommend the property highly, and would definitely visit again.
