When I heard that 7 family members were flying across the country to celebrate my son's graduation from Syracuse, taking time off of work and counting this as their vacation, I felt the pressure to show them a good time. I couldn't have booked a better vacation home than River Affairs. We used the canoe and kayaks, spent hours in the game room playing pool and ping pong, and lingered over meals around the huge dining room table. We all enjoyed the fantastic views of the river, from inside the house as well as from the huge back yard. We had a fire outside almost every night. And yes, the geese leave a lot of droppings, but they are so fun to watch--we saw new goslings in tow every day. So cute! I really appreciated the first floor bedroom & bath for my parents who don't like to climb stairs. The location was ideal--close to groceries, pizza and restaurants, and an easy drive to & from the airport. And if it looks too far from SU to be convenient for campus events, believe me, it's not. It's all freeway, so we made it to and from campus in 15-20 minutes consistently. Amy and Aaron are excellent, responsive hosts and I highly recommend a stay at their lovely River Affairs house. I would give it more stars if I could!
