Love the remoteness and proximity to the Animus River and downtown. For Travelers who have a lot of luggage or are disabled there is a long flight of narrow stairs. Also, please note that there is a dryer but no washing machine, crazy as that is! But the place is lovely and cozy and clean

Very nice, clean, and fully furnished upstairs of a house. House backs up to the river and Kendall Mountain. Backyard is fenced for pets. Owner was very responsive to questions about gas heater which was off when we arrived on a Sunday evening. We would definitely recommend this property and plan on returning.

Great stay. Close to the river and town. Loved the deck. The BBQ grill was a wonderful surprise. Just a FYI, there are 16 stairs to the unit, which is located on the 2nd floor. Not a problem for us. Wonderful stay, wonderful hosts!
