Who knew an hour and a half away was a place that Betty Lou “could just stay forever?”
Hammerhaid suspected it when he first spotted “The Little House on The River” on the Web. Oh, she was wanting to travel … drive, drive, drive. While ol’ H-haid was wanting to loaf.
But all of those somewhat far away sites were already booked for the long three-day weekend. Hammerhaid didn’t even consider grinning about this location, because she wasn’t happy. Her mood didn’t change during the drive, which followed a long day at work.
It was completely dark when they arrived. Even the normally perfect GPS system in Ruby, the red Honda truck, had let them down. Sigh!
Her dark mood soon lifted upon arrival.
Hammerhaid heard the sound of running water as he carefully ventured around the little house and flipped on the lights.
Giggling, she bounded into the structure and began a chorus of “uhhhhs and ahhs.”
“It’s perfect,” she exclaimed. And she was right.
The hints of perfection proved true at daylight. Log onto littlehouseontheriver.com if you don’t believe it.
Wow, what is better than perfection? This little house and its surroundings!
How so?
To begin with, the Little House is exactly that. It’s not a cabin. It is a perfect little home measuring 624 square feet with front and back porches that run the length of the house. It’s divided into a living room/kitchen with a bedroom and bathroom. Nice and quiet with plenty of light flowing into the dwelling.
Outside, there’s more than 1,300 feet of riverside frontage. It’s on the clean, spring-fed Rocky River. Beautiful!
Betty Lou and Hammerhaid spent many hours outdoors sitting in a rocker or enjoying a swing. They even waded in the clear stream. So relaxing!
We didn’t venture out, but Little House is near a number of attractions including Rock Island State Park, Cumberland Caverns and Foglight Food House. All of those await the next visit which…don’t tell Betty Lou…but that perfect little house is where we will spend our 3rd anniversary!
By the way, the owners of Little House are delightful. Debby and Joe are delights to work with. They even give one of their beautiful lilies to each visitor. Their guides to the cabin are perfect and share the many nearby attractions.
Make the trip and let us know what you think, we think you will agree….it's just PERFECT!
