While there is some traffic, and therefore some noise you can if sitting close to river in the back, it is muffled by the tree cover surrounding and therefore not bothersome to us. The house itself is much farther away and therefore even quieter. Nice, clean, compact house with a fenced yard that was great for our dog or else he would spend his entire time in the river! Nice elevated patio with a BBQ. We (and the dog) really loved the very shallow river (less than knee deep) with a sandy bottom. Caretaker Dave who lives next door is a darling! Very personable and helpful.
