The house was easy to find, spacious, clean, well supplied with necessities. She had beautiful flower arrangements in the house which was a nice touch. It is the easiest VRBO we have ever rented as far as checkout goes. Most places have a half page of things to do before checkout.

Great spot to stay while visiting our son. We liked the proximity to trails, easy access to many towns and the National Park. The views from the house and walk to the river were nice as well.

Relaxing weekend for all.

The house was perfect for our family, we all had our own space and got to do our own thing. Whether it was fishing or relaxing the the back yard. Check in was a zip, so easy. The kitchen was perfect, bed rooms nice and big. Loved my bed very comfy.

This is a spacious house with a good kitchen. The outdoor area is pleasant and scenic. It is a little walk to the stream. The host was good to communicate with and attentive to our needs during our stay.

Clean older home without AC. Did not think to check when I reviewed the description. But for good home and restful time with my adult children and dogs. Loved the fenced in area since the street is so busy. My fur babies loved it.

The place was just right for our needs and the host was very responsive.There were beautiful flowers in vases throughout which were lovely, but were problematic for some of our group who are allergic.One of the bedrooms did not have a fan, but we managed.All in all, we enjoyed ourselves!
