A very relaxing family reunion

The check in process was simple and easy. The house had everything we needed. It was so nice to be right on the river and not have to transport anyone to or from another location. We really enjoyed using the kayaks and we brought some of our own. We had our own trailer so we did a float trip every day. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of refrigerator space for a large family. The game room was also a place we and the kids spent a lot of time playing together. The river was moving faster than I expected so we set up some safety lines for the kids to grab on to if they got caught in the current. The small beach was fun and safe to play on as long as we had an appointed lifeguard. Thursday was low water day and that was fun because the current was much slower and we could walk all the way to the other shore. I didn’t realize until we arrived that the only way to get from one floor to the other is the outside stairs. That was a concern for some parents who had little ones sleeping in the downstairs bunk room while they were upstairs. Overall we had such a wonderful time and would definitely book this house again.

Perfect place for families right on the river!!!!!!

I booked this place for family and friends so we could stay together while we were there for an off-road race. The house is huge and has plenty of room for a large group to spread out. it was clean and the owner was very helpful with any questions we had. The kids and adults both loved all the games to play in the game room. there was plenty of parking for all the vehicles we had for our group of 20 people. It is right on the river so if you have water toys you don't even have to pull them out of the water since there is a dock on the property. this place is perfect and we will be back again soon.

About the host

Your host

I (Nancy) grew up in Oklahoma. From my parents, I learned the value of hard work. Additionally, I learned to take time to "play" and enjoy my family. We live in Orange County, where I am a Realtor--a career I thoroughly enjoy. This career, certainly wasn't in my plans. Steve, my husband was a dentist in Long Beach and I managed his practice. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease and has had it now for about 18 years. P.D is the "kiss of death" for a dentist. We have five "children" and the oldest was starting college when he was diagnosed. What to do . . . what to do . . . I had a few years to "think about it" and decided to get my real estate license. About this time, we took a huge "leap of faith" and built this river house. We have had so many great times and memories with our family and friends over the years. We now have a grandchildren, For the past several years, we host the young single adult group from our Huntington Beach Church (we are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- aka Mormon). It brings such pleasure to share our home with others. Since we aren't able to come out to our river home as much as we would like, we have shared it with friends and have rented to their friends.

Why they chose this property

I have always enjoyed water sports. I knew if I could get my husband on a "wave runner" he would be hooked! Yes, he was! (This was 25 years ago) We had heard various friends talking about going out to the "river". I said to Steve--where is this river? And . . . we need to find it! Yes, indeed, we did. A good friend had a river home and opened it up to friends-- we booked a few weekends and our family thoroughly enjoyed it. .

What makes this property unique

Of course we think we have the best lot and view of the river. The sunrises and sunsets from our 2nd story balcony/patio are beautiful. Sometimes in August, a storm will roll in and it is awesome to see the clouds, lightening and hear the thunder. Remember, I grew up in Oklahoma--I love this type of weather! It was an amazing process to build-- selecting the lot--making sure we had deep enough water out front for the dock/boat. We drew out the plans--exactly how we wanted it laid out, then had an architect draw them up, hired an excellent builder and the rest is history. (That is the shortened version)
