Location and layout was GREAT! Many of the serving dishes, etc. were chipped and the poor house needs a decent set of knives! Would have also liked a fresher, bed situation with newer linens and comforter. You just can’t get away with grandma’s pillow pillows and throws anymore. Property owners need to step it up.

The house overall is very lovely! The deck and the access to the river right outside was what drew us to the property. It is a steep climb to get down to the river so be careful if it’s muddy as we slipped a few times. The carpets could use a freshening up. Maybe a dog had just stayed in the house? The living room and primary bedroom had a musty mildew/dog smell which was a little bothersome to some of us. The hot tub was lovely for the few colder days we had during our stay.

This is a beautiful property in an amazing location. I can’t recommend it enough! The house itself is so unique and special, well-appointed, and comfortable. The deck is perfect for watching the river with your morning cup of coffee. My family had a great time with the kayaks and SUP board. The path to the water does require a strong, healthy adult to carry the kayaks. The river at the time we visited was very slow moving and safe for my teen and preteen. It was not more than chest deep in the immediate area. The hot tub was clean and relaxing after a day on the water. Just a note if you are particular about water, there is tap water available for drinking from the sinks, but no ice. So bring filtered water or ice if you need it. Don’t miss the opportunity to stay at True North, you won’t regret it!

Naomi was very responsive to our few inquiries. There was an issue with the hot tub which was addressed immediately. Lovely location for playing in the river and using as a base before adventuring. The beds could stand an upgrade, especially the master, but all in all a great visit; would definitely visit again.

wonderful house with river access

The house was immaculate. Arrival and departure were easy. We love the location. The only thing that was a surprise was the steep path, in deep sand, down to the water's edge from wood stairs of the main path. The level of difficulty for that section of the path does not show in pictures and was not described.
