We had a lovely girls weekend here with my mom and sisters. Beautiful backyard area on the water. So peaceful and a lovely place to have coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. Shirley was excellent at communicating. We were even left a welcome gift of some delicious cheese that was made BY THE OWNERS! Everything was wonderful.

The property was clean and the inside was beautiful. We sat out on the back porch of the property but the highway was loud in the background. There was only seating for 4 so it may be a challenge for larger groups. I had to contact the host for checking information since I was traveling. The host was responsive . We needed to contract the host again since the air conditioning didn’t seem to be working. The maintenance man was very responsive and fixed the problem.

Beautiful home, great host and 20 minutes from downtown. Two downsides that the host cannot do anything to fix. #1: Road noise from highway across the river when enjoying great view of river. #2: One neighbor collects a bunch of old vehicles and was loud some mornings. Would still recommend but wanted to share the info.
