Beautiful place

Beautiful property. No interruptions during our stay at all. Conveniently located less than a minute from the river. Perfect place to decompress and recover from everything life like to throw your way.

Cute little house.

Concerned about the smell of water and feel when showering. Owner said its well but i feel it needs to be check and treated. They did respond saying its country living. But house i own in Poconos is checked and treated and that is well water. They did leave drinking water. House is cute. Basement steps are steep not for an elderly person.

Access was difficult

Our car got stuck trying to pull in the driveway due to uphill and loose gravel. It took a running start each time to get to the house. Then the only entrance to the house was thru the basement and up very steep and narrow staircase. Ok i guess for young folks but not good for senior citizens. The water was horrible. Felt slimy and stunk like fish pond water. Host did provide lots of drinking water which was greater appreciated. The location was great, secluded with lots of trees and outdoor space.
