Cute property converted to 3 units. Unique landscaping. Harmony House views did include much of the river but bird watching was fun. Nice deck with peaceful grounds.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
The property is nice and peaceful. I’m sure it’s stunning when everything is green. I was hoping for river views. It’s beautiful when you walk down the path but not actually visible from the unit we stayed in. Also, some covered seating would be really nice. It rained during about half of our stay, but we still could have enjoyed it if our porch was fully covered.
