"We stayed in the YURT and it was pretty amazing! Soooo nicely built and decorated! We rented a canoe and had a really good time floating the river. The accommodations and customer service could not have been better! Great group of people. Really friendly people and Gypsy is the sweetest pupper dog 🐶Highly recommend!"

My wife and daughter and I stayed in the Yurt and floated the river. It was the perfect getaway for relaxation and family time. The Yurt was assembled, built and finished by the owners. They are clearly master carpenters. The place is extremely nice, with tongue and groove finished walls and trim and other extremely tasteful and elegant finishing touches. Everyone we’ve met in person or talked to on the phone has been excessively helpful and friendly. The river takes about 3.5 hours to float. We took our time, fished for small mouth, circled back to spots that looked fishy, enjoyed a couple cold beverages, and stopped on the rock beaches for lunch and laughs. You could speed through it faster or lolly gag it longer. Highly recommend CRCCR. Great experience all around. ~Jason Gibert
