| What an ideal setting for relaxing and gathering with friends. The accomodations were warm and inviting and yet large enough for our group. Great kitchen for entertaining, and views of the Umpqua from almost every room! |

| This is a spacious beautiful home right on the river. The view is beautiful up and down the river, and the setting is quiet and peaceful. With 3 floors to sleep people, everyone can have privacy in their own place. The house easily accommodated our meetings of 14 people in the livingroom and there was seating for all of us in the dining room. We would definately return to this great place. |

| Part of a large group of friends & co-laborers in a Christian Family Ministry. What a perfect facility for families or business or whatever the group. The house is nicely decorated and comfortable and everything works. There could be more willing fish in the river but that might be the fisher's fault. Rick & Joanne are the best. Thank You for a great place to retreat to. |

During January we rented this great home on the river to share a late Christmas with our childrend and 4 grandchildren. It has all of the room any large family needs with all of the comforts of home. The outstanding view through the three stories of windows was spectacular. There was plenty of room to play table/board games with the kids. A great living room with plentiful seating. There were extra towels and lines to accommodate all 8 of us with ease and many more that could be accommodated. The kitchen and dining areas also we appointed such that the views were great...even when you had to do the dishes or cook. A great kitchen with excellent appliances. We were all VERY pleased with how it met and exceeded our expectations.
JoAnne was also VERY helpful in coordinating this for us.
We hope to do it again soon.
Thanks JoAnne

Oh WOW! What a beautiful home and location.
We rented the River Retreat for an extended family gathering over the Christmas holiday. The house was perfect. Rick and Joanne could not have been any nicer and did everything they could to make us feel at home.
The house is set up very well with a lot more amenities than other locations we have rented through VRBO. Not only were there pots and pans for cooking meals, but also spices and oils. As we all like to cook, we found the kitchen very well equipped with everything we needed to entertain and prepare many holiday meals. Other little extras that we found very helpful were the coffee mill and the electric griddle.
The house also included a washer and dryer which came in handy with our large group being there for a full week. There were extra blankets and pillows for wrapping up while watching tv or snuggling up as we reminisced about past Christmas’s.
I have nothing negative to say about this experience and whole heartedly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a large home in a beautiful setting.

| We used this house for a business Team Building Retreat day, and it was wonderful, the house is beautiful, large, inviting and comfortable. The accommodations fully met and exceeded our needs and desires. This house really does encapsulate the word REATREAT the river view is tranquil with the passing of dear by the window. It was altogether a beautiful day. I fully recommend this property for any vacation needs. |

| We had wonderful four days in the house. It is a true retreat in great location. Plenty of space for large families. Especially the living room with huge windows is a superb place for board-games and good/long wine conversations. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the week we spent in this beautiful home! My daughter and her family (three small children) joined us as well. Joanne was so very accommodating in supplying us with a highchair, security gates and a portable crib as well. She was also very helpful with information on fun things to do! The view from this peaceful home is great! We will continue to enjoy the memories from our visit for many years to come! |

| My business partner and I rented this house to operate out of for a few weeks and it was nothing short of exceptional. Our discerning clientele was very pleased with the beautiful scenery and accomodations. As a result business was outstanding and we will be sure to use it again. |

| We recently held a family reunion (our 31st annual gathering)at your beautiful lake home and we all enjoyed it so much. The house was great for accommodating the sleeping arrangements and all the activities of a large group - board games in the living room - card games at the table -jewelry making in the dining room - music and singing on the deck and foosball for the kids downstairs. The "cooks" kitchen was definitely an added bonus for our family of gourmet cooks! The setting was peaceful and quiet and we all enjoyed seeing deer and even the visiting racoon ... |

| A little slice of heaven. It was so peaceful and quiet with such a beautiful setting that you have to be there to understand what I'm describing. If you get an opportunity, spend a day or two there and I promise you won't regret it. AWESOME!!! |

We so glad we decided to stay here.
Jacuzzi baths, reading by the fireplace with only the faint sounds of the river, and a kitchen to envy.
Even the drive to the house is gorgeous.
Thank you for a wonderful stay,

| This retreat house was the perfect place for our small retreat. We easily accomodated 4 couples. Everyone felt they had privacy as well as a comfortable place to gather. It was a peaceful and beautiful setting. The Grahams were so gracious and helpful to make our retreat perfect. |

As the owners of this house, we were considering selling it. But before we put it on the market, we rented it out to a couple of different groups for weekend retreats. They were all so enthusiastic about what a great get-away they had, that we've decided to make it available on a broader scale. We hope you enjoy every minute of your stay at this big, beautiful river house!
