Didn't interact with a host, the property is managed by Vacasa and I was concerned about that. But the house exceeded expectations. Kitchen was well-stocked. Beds were comfy. View of the river was amazing. Only two minor issues: we couldn't open the outdoor trash can and the master bedroom was chilly, would recommend a space heater.

We absolutely loved this house, great location and well set up. The big issue we had was that one of the two fireplaces just poured smoke into a room. When we called for support from the property manager, we were told someone would call back soon. No one ever contacted us and we were unable to use the fireplace - one of the main reasons we rented the property.

We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed our time. The home was clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view of the river. It was peaceful and relaxing. The wood-burning fireplace was a highlight and made our evenings cozy. A great spot to unwind and enjoy the scenery. We’d definitely stay again!
