The home was big, open, and beautiful with stunning views of the river. Lots of nice indoor space, a very well stocked kitchen, and plenty of outdoor hang out space as well. We'd definitely stay here again!
The house and location are peaceful and private. We attended a wedding at a local venue, it was an added treat to stay in such a beautiful home. We had long time friends over to the house after the wedding and sat around the fireplace and chatted the night away.
We loved this house. The pics do not do it justice and they were amazing pics! Beautiful property with onsite river access and a private pond for swimming. It was absolutely beautiful. The home itself was spacious, clean and super comfy. And we were still close enough to town for a dinner out and some last minute needs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Relaxing and outstanding property! We are 2 couples who have traveled all around the world renting VRBO homes and this was one of our top homes. Photos do not do it justice. Listening to the river going through the property while relaxing with a fire in the outside sitting area was just what we all needed... Did I say relaxing!! The house was immaculate and well kept and the kitchen made us not want to eat out. Beds were super comfortable and plenty of space to spread out. Brand new hot tub that we did not get to use, as we forgot our bathing suits, but will next time we go. It was quiet and peaceful and the biggest decision during the day is where we would be hanging out and eating our meals. This house will definitely not disappoint. The management Co VACASA was top notch and was super helpful and always replied to questions throughout the whole rental process. Negatives about this property NONE...we were sad to leave.

Beautiful Property
Let's begin with we loved the property and would definitely stay again. It is obvious the owners have spent time and $ to improve the outside areas. We loved the outside fireplace and firepit. The house was very clean and properly equipped. The location is perfect with the river right outside your back door. The hot tub was very clean and ready for use. The only reason it does not get 5 stars is because of electrical issues. As stated in a previous review, we also had problems with no power in the second bedroom and the breaker was in the locked garage. Vacasa helped up fix the issue. All three bathrooms have low lighting which needs to be addressed. Other than electrical issues, it is a 5+ star property.

It's wonderful to know that you appreciated the improvements made to the outside areas, such as the fireplace and firepit, and that the house was clean and well-equipped. We're glad you enjoyed the perfect location by the river and that the hot tub was clean and ready for use. We apologize for the electrical issues you encountered, but we're glad Vacasa was able to assist in resolving them. Your feedback regarding the low lighting in the bathrooms is appreciated, and we'll certainly address this for future guests. We hope to welcome you back for another 5+ star stay soon!

This place is beautiful and relaxing, inside and out!!
I am definitely staying here again!! The house was very clean, and has plenty to offer, with the town square being only 10 minutes away. We saw deer going through the yard in the morning, and enjoyed having our breakfast outside, with the sounds of the river, and nature all around us.
