Beautiful property in the downtown district one block from the river. The neighborhood felt safe and quiet. The home had an amazing historical vibe while maintaining the feel of a modern home as well.

Great little place close to the river

I got this for my family to visit and I'm so happy that I did. The interior is just precious if you love beautiful, old wooden flooring and it has EVERYTHING you could ever need for an entire group. House was perfectly clean and stocked with everything that the description listed. Has great parking for 4 vehicles. It's so much more reasonable than 4 hotel rooms. For once, I made my entire family happy with something because everyone wants to drive their own cars and do their own thing. Will 100% stay here again

Trip south 2024

The layout of this house is strange. The living room didn’t really exist other than two large couches situated in a bizarre way. There was no place to sit and eat other than a small table in the corner which could only seat two people. There was only one bedside table with no lamp. The kitchen was nice. there was a picture of the river in the description of the house but the house was not on the river.
