What the owner loves about this home
Enjoy the sunrise from your deck as deer cross the river upstream and catch the osprey diving for fish. Later, fish for trout and catfish from your own yard or paddle your kayak or standup paddle board in this calm section of the river between rapids that the locals call the beaver pond. At dusk, look for the beavers swimming upriver in search of food. Revel in the breathtaking sight of the moon rising over the mountain, casting its reflection on the water. And finally, when you’ve given up trying to count more stars than you’ve ever seen in the city, retire to your sanctuary suite for the most relaxing nights sleep you’ve ever had.
