Fun times out doors.
Great location for an outdoor adventure We were able to hike in Johnson shut ins, fish /play in the black river, 4 wheel in Suttons Bluff and end the day around a campfire.
House was as described. Owner was the next house over. So was available for any questions. Enjoyed meeting her dogs.

Had the Best time! Great location!
Wendy and Rick were amazing hosts! They were there for us from the moment we checked in throughout each day and helped us when we got stuck on the river. Their hospitality went above and beyond! The place was so roomy. The beds were so comfortable. We had so much space for the six of us to move about. We love the location and will definitely be back next year!

It was perfect for us. There was 6 of us. The host is very sweet. It was a very short drive to the company we float with. The location was perfect for what we were there for. Can’t wait for next years girls trip!

Easy Access
We enjoyed our stay and the location was easy to get our trucks and trailers in and out of.
This was a very clean and convenient property. It was perfect and close to the river. Also, if you're floating, they will come pick you up from this property. The host was great, it has everything you need.

Amazing place close to the river
We had an amazing two night stay here with friends while in Lesterville for a float trip. The place was exactly as described, comfortable, had everything we needed, and very close to the river. We enjoyed spending time at the river prior to and after our float trip. The owner was quick to respond to all of our inquires and was very accommodating. We all already agreed that we would love to stay here next time we are down that way to float.

Excellent Host!
The location is just a few miles from most of the Black River float services. When we arrived the everything was exactly as described. It's an older trailer home, but it was very clean and had everything we needed. New carpet throughout living area is awesome and a brand new grill for cooking outside! Perfect place to enjoy the crazy parties of the river, and then peace and quiet of this location with beautiful sunsets from the deck. We will definately be back!

Great location for nature lovers
We enjoyed our stay for 2 nights at this rustic mobile home in Lesterville. It is very close to Johnson’s Shut-Ins and walking distance to the Black River for tubing or just a nice dip. Our kids loved catching and releasing the crayfish and we even saw some tadpoles. The river current can be really strong so make sure you have a life vest on the little ones and older kids should be good swimmers. We also hiked Elephant Rocks which is a 20-25 minute drive. Bring your own DVDs since there are 2 TVs hooked up for videos. We had no luck getting Internet access through our cell service, but I heard there’s an AT&T tower close by. We would definitely come back again. Contact the host if you’re planning a huge meal - the kitchen has limited pots, pans, etc.
