The property is nice and peaceful. I’m sure it’s stunning when everything is green. I was hoping for river views. It’s beautiful when you walk down the path but not actually visible from the unit we stayed in. Also, some covered seating would be really nice. It rained during about half of our stay, but we still could have enjoyed it if our porch was fully covered.

Perfect For Our Family

My wife’s grandparents live just a mile and half from the Zen River Property. The Harmony House was perfect for my wife, our infant son, and me. Our family was supposed to stay in the River House, but unfortunately they had to cancel. It would have been great though, but we can’t recommend either property enough. Andy was a fantastic host. We will definitely recommend this property and hope to be back.

Beautiful memories made here

My husband and I came with her two adult children and stayed in the cabin, harmony house. Andy was on point and helped us achieve a perfect vacation weekend. He even dropped us off down the road so we could tube down the river and gave us Perfect instructions on where to park our car after our river trip. The grounds are so incredibly peaceful. Both nights we spent in the hammocks, looking at the stars. We could honestly not have asked for a better weekend. Andy's kindness and help had everything to do with its success. I could've stayed for a whole week! We will be back!
