Perfect Getaway
The Chicken Coop was a perfect choice for a couple's weekend getaway. It had everything we needed for our stay and a great spot to chill and watch the river flow by. It was very clean and neat with a comfy bed and seating area, came in handy on a rainy day.
Close to the grocery and some yummy breakfast spots.
We hope to come back next year and actually put a boat on the river.
