Reviewer Comments: Group of lady friends spent a few days together in River Cliff Retreat. Everything was as described in the listing. It was too close to the bridge with construction. Water deep in front of home. We tied off with anchors.

Nice property for a large group

We had three families with adult children in town for the eclipse and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms was perfect. Also large kitchen worked great at meal time. The rec room was also great and fit everyone for evening relaxation and game viewing on the TVs.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was so nice. We all loved that we were able to have our own bedrooms. The only thing we did not care for is the river access. The stairs down to the river are very steep and the floating dock was kinda small and would not float with more than two people on it. The only other thing that was a little annoying is the water pressure was very low in the showers and at the kitchen sink.
