The main purpose of our trip was to go diving in the area's shipwrecks in the river. It is close to the best shore diving in the area, and not too far from the wrecks accessible by boat in the area. The second bathroom downstairs made a nice area to rinse off the dive gear and hang everything up to ensure it was fully dried in between uses. There is even a full laundry including washer and dryer!

The home was in good condition and on a beautiful location on the river. The deck ensured an amazing sunrise and sunset over the river and the private deck off of the master bedroom allowed a private viewing. A couple of the days even included a freighter in our morning and evening pictures.

The yard was well kept ( mowed and trimmed ) and maintenance people came during the week to ensure the grounds were kept trimmed. There is a small sand beach area which quickly turns into weeds a few feet from shore. The slope is gradual and with some scuba boots, or water shoes/sandals, it is a great place to swim/wade. The dock in the pictures was not installed so if we had a boat, there would have been no place to dock.

There were 3 kayaks available for use along with a canoe and a paddle boat. There were also life jackets provided. The kayaks were at one time nice kayaks and showed their use and age. They are fully usable, however. There was a nice area 200 m offshore which was the former canal before the river was navigable. This was a great spot to kayak over and around. The visibility was great and you could see to the bottom about 15-20 feet clearly.

The grill burners were in terrible condition and need to be replaced. The propane was completely empty, and so was the backup tank. Christine was notified and did have the tank replaced within 24 hours. In the notes it clearly states to notify Christine if the tank is used so she can fill it up for the next renters.

The internet was down for 4 of the 7 days we were there. Christine said the cable had been cut and had trouble having the local tech come fix it. Christine did notify me daily of the status and pushed the local tech to come fix it. The wireless signal was strong, but the speed of the internet was 2-3 Mbps. Great if you have no cell signal.

If something is wrong with your stay make sure to let Christine know so she can fix it. She helped us multiple times and is quick to respond.

We would definitely stay again and plan on it next summer.
