City advice

What to pack

If you like ice, grab some before coming to the house.

We have ice trays in the freezer but no ice-maker. If you love ice in all your drinks, we would recommend getting ice from the gas station or grocery store before you get in!
What to pack

Bring Water Shoes for the River

The river is great to explore! The water is crystal clear. I would suggest wearing water shoes if you are wanting to cross the river and explore down the river. There are many places to climb boulders, ledges, and you are walking on river rocks. Water shoe recommendations: -Chacos Sandals -Lost River Shoes -Tevas Sandals -Sportsman Oasis Shoes
