Great place to stay for our weekend River Rafting trip.

Great property. As described. Owner was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Lots of room for our family consisting of 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 teens. Kitchen was huge and well equipped with new appliances. Bedrooms and living areas were comfortable, clean and spacious. The property is gorgeous and very secluded, but very easy to find, and close to town should you need anything. We would love to come back during the summer to take advantage of the river and gravel bar for swimming.

Driftwood Lodge was so spacious for our Over 50 group of 8 Ladies! Jan was so easy to communicate with before, during & after the whole stay. We're already talking about coming back for a summer visit as it's so close to the river and it's such a comfortable place in regards to "living" space so you're not on top of one another. Great Weekend Getaway!!!

We had a great stay at the lodge. We had everything we needed. The property is right on the river and we were able to make good use of the inflatables there. Jan was very responsive to all my questions.

We stayed here for a couple nights and a planned float trip. The weather did not cooperate so we just hung out and enjoyed the great space we had. There was a lot of room and a well stocked kitchen. We barbecued did puzzles and played games. The kids walked to the boat ramp and fished for awhile when there was a break in the weather. The house had everything as listed on vrbo. I would recommend this property and hopefully we can return to do our float trip.

We had a wonderful time at Driftwood. We spent a couple days just set up at the river with our chairs and canopy. It was a great time playing and fishing on the river. We were supposed to float but rained and river was too high, house had plenty of room for us to play games, watch TV and visit. We will use this place again for sure.

Nice multi family stay
The house was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was big enough to hold our three families. We went for a float trip during our stay so it was good to stay at a house rather than campsites we’ve stayed in the past. I thought it was a bit expensive for the condition of the house.

Jan is super helpful before and during the stay, being just a simple text away. The river access is beautiful! Make sure you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle with you for the short trek to the river, simply because of the steep hill, but the cabin comfortably slept all 12 of our group with room to spare, and the bathroom updates since the last time we stayed were great! Some of our group will be back next month for a girls only trip!

Good river property
It was everything that we expected. A perfect place for a short family gathering

This property is perfect for our family of both unmarried and married children and their spouses and our grandchildren! There are dining and gathering places to easily accommodate all 13 of us, yet privacy and quiet for those who require a nap or just some time alone. The porches provide entertainment for nature watchers, and the river just down the hill and around the bend gives an opportunity for folks to jump right in. We plan to do it again next year!
