The surrounding environment is beautiful. You can enjoy the river while having a BBQ on the balcony. The Kitchen and dining table are huge enough for us to have a wonderful dinner.

10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2026
Everything was perfect! Extremely comfortable beds and linens. Kitchen was incredible: stocked with basic pantry supplies. We took the basics as well, used what was open and left our new unopened pantry items (unable to fly home with groceries). Host was great, checking to see if we needed anything, after check in. Heated flooring made the atmosphere very cozy and easy to adjust temps. Living room fireplace was awesome and too easy! We could go on and on with every detail. Everything was perfect!
6 / 10Average·Aug 2024
Beautiful location and home - had some issues right off the bat with the house having a propane leak and us needing to be moved. The hosting company and Carol were great and got everything fixed, then the hot water went out in the house. Bumpy stay and we were supposed to receive a refund towards our stay but never did. Hot water came on later in the evening. The summer months are awesome there - the porch needs updated outdoor furniture too. Chairs are flimsy and some of them broke. We dusted everything off and got it all ready to use - it would have been nice to have that ready when we arrived. Overall everything worked out and they allowed us to stay for a late check out which we were grateful for.
