The Cora J Pope Home was was lovely. Larry took great care in adding personal touches to make it feel like a home. He responded to all our requests quickly and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. There was lots of space to gather as a family and the deck overlooking the river was a perfect spot for relaxing!

Our large family stayed over the weekend and was amazed by the property! Larry gave us a tour upon arrival and that was so cool to hear his love for the house and made us enjoy it more, making sure we spent time there. Sitting outside by the fire pit telling stories while overlooking the water was a great touch. Be careful as it is easy to get lost I side the house.

Wonderful Accommodations for a larger group in this very spacious home. Built in the 1920 this home has much of the original woodwork, craftsmanship and fixtures throughout which all of us thoroughly enjoyed along with antique furniture and fixtures from that era. Very large kitchen to prepare food in and large beautiful dinning room which the 12 of us enjoyed daily. Just wish we could be closer and come back to visit more often. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this very unique home.

The owners have done everything possible to make your stay at Pope House memorable. It is the second time our group of seven friends has had the privilege to book this entire home. We cannot describe the kindness shown by the host, Larry. He has lovingly restored this home and every inch shows fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. Our group enjoys preparing meals and inviting guests to join us; this home is the perfect setting. The kitchen allows several folks to cook together; a Blackstone Griddle was a great surprise. The living area is made for entertaining, with a lovely piano available. The antique touches, comfortable beds, beautiful views, and ample parking are not to be taken for granted. A real treasure!
