This home was perfect for our family size. We spent most of our time on the lovely back porch and water area. Inside worked well with kids too. Will come back again. This was already our second stay.

It was great having Ruth and family back down on the river for a second stay. She is a wonderful person and we always appreciate our returning guests.
We'd be delighted to have her again anytime.
The hosts, EB and Traci were excellent hosts; easy communication. Everything was spotless. The home was spacious and comfortable. Patios were fantastic and the views, spectacular. Will be booking soon for next year!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay down on the river. We enjoyed meeting you and appreciate the care you took of the property. We hope to see you again next year or sooner! E.B. & Traci
Perfect place our family to stay for our daughter’s graduation from UD. Lots of space and amazing views. I wish the weather had cooperated so we could have taken advantage of the beautiful outdoor space.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We wish the weather would have cooperated for you too, but we're happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and the river. We hope you'll come again.
We had a blast at Traci and Edwin’s home! It was right on the water with access to hop right in for tubing or kayaking. The home was so spacious and really charming. Lots of seating outdoors and indoors. The views were incredible and such a relaxing place to stay to unwind. Check in and out process was super simple, Traci and Edwin had great, quick communication. I highly recommend their home and we plan to book again in future. Thank you!!

It was great to have you for the 250th 4th of July. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the house and hope you'll come again.
Great house for a quick little getaway with family. The house is perfect for families with children; relaxed and friendly, not fussy. Would definitely recommend.
Nice place with lots of room, bay/river access, 2 kitchens, 2 living areas, multiple decks andPorches. The main rear deck has 2 seating areas with good shade and a grill. Only a couple issues. The A/C doesn’t cool the whole house equally. 1st floor King bedroom had a window AC unit which was good, but the 2nd floor king was really warm all week. There is a fair amount of poison ivy growing along walk ways and on trees where we parked which could be problematic. Water access was a bit tricky for the Grand Parents to get in and out.

Thank you for your comments. We installed a brand-new HVAC system this summer, but super-hot August weather and bright sunshine can warm the upstairs front bedroom. Poison ivy is unfortunately a fact of life in woods, though yours is the first mention of it in over 20 years of renting. We do our best to keep the yard and grounds in good condition and were happy to host you. All the best!
Our family was in town from all over the US for family wedding. Plenty of room for all of us and had a great time at the large kitchen table sharing meals and playing games.

We really enjoyed hosting Lynn and her group. We are very happy she and her family had a great time and hope they'll be back again.
The property was everything that was promisedand more! Absolutely beautiful location, and wonderful amenities. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. Annika was quickly responsive to the very minor need that we had regarding the drain. Thank you for the perfect place to our 40th wedding anniversary.
Martin was a last-minute guest who communicated well and took good care of the property. We hope that next time he'll stay a little longer.
About the host
Hosted by Traci
I am a local attorney and grew up a short walk from the house, which was my best friend's home in my childhood. I still live close by and am usually available to answer any questions you may have.
Why they chose this property
We enjoy the waterfront and wanted a property we could share with others. It's within walking distance from my house so I can check on it easily. It was also my best-friend from elementary school's house, so it has a lot of memories for me.
