We Call it Home

We have rented this wonderful place for 4 years now. I can't believe I've never reviewed it....well, I can, because I truly have reluctance to have it discovered. We were looking for the quintessential cabin in the woods but with all the amenities of home and we have found it. And we get to hear the river at night and walk to the Hot Springs in less than 5 minutes, and walk to town in a few more. We sit on the deck and have our coffee in the morning. The little ones find wild strawberries on the hillside. We play board games around the huge dining table. The teenagers hang out in the loft playing their computer games. There is something for everyone--outdoor spaces, indoor spaces, open spaces, nooks and window seats, games and movies, TV if you absoluetely must have it, and always the river and the views.
Our youngest ones call it their "My-Ray House". We pull up in front and can't believe we're back. The first year we stayed a week, the second and third years we stayed for two weeks. This year we have it for three and we already know that won't be long enough. In fact, why am I reviewing this? I would rent it for the season if I could!
Riverview has every single thing you could want and much more. The response of the owners in Texas and the property managers has always been immediate and completely satisfactory. Everyone we've invited who has come to visit us wants to know when we're returning and have they been invited to join us again (Yes, there's room!). This is not a condo! This is a house in a magical setting with ambience and views (Mt. Abrams,unbelievable) and it feels like our summer home.

It really pleases us that you have chosen to return to our log home for many successive years now. Your choosing to return each year convinces us that we have created a special place. Thanks for your kind words, and we will see you next year...
