We had a great stay, the home was beautiful inside and out, being right on the river with beautiful patio as well. It was so convenient that everything you need for your stay is supplied including plenty of kitchen utensils, pots/pans, toiletries, etc. Everything was very clean, comfortable, & relaxing. Would definitely stay here again & recommend friends/family that are visiting in the area! Thank you for everything!

Mary was very welcoming and helpful. She answered all of our questions promptly. We stayed in the winter, so couldn't enjoy the river, but the house was immaculate and very comfortable, the location is convenient and the view is amazing.

Wonderful home with lovely beds and an incredible outdoor space overlooking the river, perfect for relaxing with a small group of friends. Mary was super easy to communicate with and even let us in early, which helped us out a bunch! We loved the commitment to the mermaid/nautical aesthetic.
