Very clean, comfortable and attractively designed home with good lighting and mattresses, which I particularly appreciate. Lots of thoughtful touches throughout, from extra toiletries to a well-stocked kitchen. Communication with the owner was easy and immediate. Walkable to several local restaurants, quiet neighborhood and close to lots of great outdoors experiences. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect weekend getaway for float trip

We loved the space, very clean and comfortable beds! Six of us came down for a float trip from Cedar Grove to Akers Ferry and this was the perfect spot for non-campers. Everything was super clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with cookware so we were easily able to make our own meals. Would definitely return!
