Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Once again, despite really hot weather, River Retreat was just that - a lovely respite for a late January holiday. The home is clean and tidy. The kitchen is well stocked with the physical items for cooking. The beds are comfortable and the water pressure divine. A small backyard space for those nights when you just want to sit out and enjoy a wine under the night skies.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Despite a faulty lock on the toilet door, a non-functioning extractor fan in the toilet and very poor lighting in most areas, the house was very well presented. I would suggest single beds provide for a much more flexible sleeping arrangement. In spite of this, I would book again.
