The place was left nicely turned on...tv, music, lighting, fans, etc. The back deck overlooking the river was better than expected. The setting couldn't be better.

Beautiful location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The area was beautiful and it was so lovely to have the balcony overlooking the river. The home had everything we needed. There were just a few things that needed some maintenance. The dishwasher seemed to be broken, and the toilet seat was wooden and split.

Tranquility

Lovely spot on the river. Quiet and peaceful. Very clean. The kitchen could use a knife sharpener and maybe an extra baking sheet. The dishwasher didn't work but the bbq was great! Overall, a great place on the river. We'll be back!
