3.5 Stars. Get what you pay for. Nice for a River house.

Overall the house is nice. There is a lot that needs to be done to the property in my opinion to be 4 stars or more. But for a River house where most people just need a place to sleep, in checks the boxes.

Great house plan

This house is set up with bed/bath/partial kitchen on each floor. Also if it rains, it has a large outdoor covered area under the house with games, TV, plenty to keep everyone busy! The house management company could not have been nicer. We will definitely rent again.

This place is a keeper for repeat visits!

This place is fantastic! We had the best most relaxing time! It’s far enough from everything, but close enough to what you need. The yard and view are amazing and the pics don’t do it justice. We had a few hiccups with appliances not working but stayed in contact with the property manager about it and all was well. We plan to stay here again!

Excellent stay!

Beautiful property and amazing location! We were surprised how clean the whole place was and all the great amenities it provided. The pictures of this property does not adequately describe how wonderful the house really is. We certainly want to be back to this place. One item in particular I want to mention: the beds are above average as we love firm (not HARD) beds. These beds were just right!!

Relaxing Spring Trip

This house is a beautiful property both inside & outside. Plenty to keep kids & adults busy. The river & birds provide peaceful nature experience. We saw a hawks nest & were able to use the spotting scope to zoom in & watch the nest activity. The owners have done a great job with plenty of storage space for our things & a great pantry! We plan to return for another getaway.
