The property was very clean and had the basic necessities. The ramp was a little hard to manuever bringing down luggage but it was no issue. Make sure to bring food items such as condiments. Spices and dishes were provided as well as coffee pods. The host had great communication and response time. We will definitely stay again!
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2026
Response from VrboOwner on Apr 27, 2026
Maranda was easy to host, friendly and good communication. The river level is very low due to work on a dam south of us. We had to separate our gangway so it could reach the dock and not cause damage. In high water, sometimes the gangway is level. In low water it’s steep.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. House was very clean and had eveything we needed. Use of kayaks was huge bonus. Property location was close to lots of restaurants and stores, but just far enough from everything to still feel remote and peaceful. We will definitely be back!
