My husband, son & family, and daughter & family really enjoyed our stay here. The view of the river and the sunsets was spectacular! Mike advised us about routes for our sightseeing and added little extras that really made our family vacation memorable. From our granddaughter, age 8 to our grandson, age 15, the four grandchildren really loved the home and the entire trip. Mike was available to help with anything we needed. Our trip included visits to Gettysburg, Hershey, Amish Village, the Round Barn and seeing the beautiful countryside of Lancaster County. The kids and grandkids would have liked to have been able to swim and enjoy the river more, but, all in all, the property was worth it.

Great Stay!

Our group of 9 stayed at the Comfortably Numb during our visit to the area for a tennis tournament. The location was great and the river views were beautiful. We found the accommodations to suit or needs perfectly as there was plenty of space to spread out never feeling crowded. We also enjoyed the Accomac Inn which is just down the street from the house. Overall I would recommend the Comfortably Numb for anyone looking for a getaway. The owner was also great to work with.

Our group was not very happy with the home, specifically the cleanliness. The photos definitely show the home in the best possible light, but some are deceptive. For example, there is no "library." It is just two bookcases at the top of the stairs. The stairs are covered up with a rug or photoshopped in on the photo. I won't go on and on, because the owner is a really nice guy. He offered us tubes to use free of charge and wanted to please us. But he simply needs to hire a much more thorough cleaning service. For the price we paid a night plus a cleaning fee, we expected more.

Owner response:"Cleanliness" is in the eye of the beholder. We try to do the best we can with the limited time that sometimes exists between departing and arriving guests, and we do have new members of the cleaning crew this season. I try to personally inspect all properties between guests after cleaning, but when guests request early arrival (as this one did) I sometimes am unable to get to all the houses personally. If we are made aware of shortcomings, they are addressed immediately. I have no record of renting to a Jeanne from Leesburg; perhaps she was a guest with the group from Japan who are on record for that period. Regarding the "library" (and it is italicized in the listing) there was no photoshopping. When I originally listed Comfortably Numb, I envisioned it renting more successfully as a two-unit, and a floor and carpet existed over the interior staircase at that time. (When a group requests less space, the floor is able to be put in place to create a 3-bedroom 1st floor unit and a 2-bedroom 2nd floor unit with library. In either situation, the books are available for guests.) I have found it has much higher demand as a large single 5-bedroom house. It is one of the changes that will be made with the next update. (P.S. There is NO "plus a cleaning fee"; prices as listed on vrbo are all-inclusive, subject only to room taxes.)

We took our grown children and young grandchildren for a short get-away and were delighted to stay at Comfortably Numb. All 17 of us had a terrific time - from babies to grandparents. We had lots of space and were happy with the large, clean accomodations. Thank you for a most memorable stay.

We wanted to join our families for an unforgettable weekend - BOY WERE OUR EXPECTATIONS EXCEEDED! We arrived at night and awoke to an amazing view in front of us. We planned on venturing out but ended up just enjoying each other's company at the house. Thank you so much for your hospitality - we had an amazing time!

Multi-family "vacation" for 2010 New Years, with 5 kids under 4 years old and 5 adults. We all had a blast - would definitely come back in warmer weather to take advantage of the river (and the porch.) We loved that we were seemingly in the middle of nowhere but only a quick drive to "civilisation" which definitely made entertaining the kids easier...

We had a marvelous time here at Comfortably Numb!! The set-up was perfect for our Girl's Get-a-way. We loved celebrating our fiftieth birthdays here. We had a great day in Lancaster and are looking forward to coming back next year.

This weekend has been truly unique; one of a kind! Everyone loved it here. The view of the river, the quaintness of the house, and the closeness it has brought our family. Your house was the perfect getaway the Magdinec family needed! Thank you for that! P.S. Floating down the river in tubes and throwing M-80's into the fire = a FANTASTIC family reunion! TRY IT1

...If I had one wish in life, it would be to raise my son at the river and live here happily ever after with my wonderful wife Kimmnie. Spending this week here over my 43rd birthday with my wonderful family and friends was fanatastic. I plan on coming back next year with anyone who wants to come along because there is NOTHING BUT FUN HERE. It was a great week no matter what the weather did and I totally enjoyed myself day and night and can't thank you enough for giving me the opportunity... P.S. If there were more people like you in the world it would be a better place.
