Our host was amazing - both welcoming and responsive. This property was the perfect setting for a relaxing weekend to enjoy Mardi Gras in Fairhope and family that lives nearby. The home is beautifully maintained and the setting on Fish River was both relaxing for adults and entertaining for our children. Would highly recommend without reservation.

The River house was perfect for our girls trip to the Fairhope area. It was large enough for each of the 5 of us to feel comfortable in the spacious bedrooms, The outside porch and deck added an extra area to relax, play cards and even fish.
