Amenities at Bow Wow on The River - Waterfront/Dog Friendly Cottage
The house is beautiful and has great views of the river. We enjoyed the enclosed porch.
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2024
Property states that it sleeps 4, but really only 1 king and smaller Murphy bed accommodate 3 comfortably. A sleeper sofa would make it more amenable to 4 guests, also, shower drain was slow and water built up during the shower. Management/cleaning company should be checking these things, otherwise really nice.

6 / 10Average·Sep 2020
Could not access wifi due to invalid password. My husband needed it so he could work on his laptop. Property manager said he would send someone over but we never heard back. Dog friendly place but the dog beds and blankets were covered in dog hair. Those beds really should not be there or everything should be vacuumed off and washed. Fortunately we brought our own dog beds. Dogs water bowl was slimey so again either remove the stuff or sanitize it. Both toilets need a new seat due to urine stains under the seat itself. Smear marks and fingerprints on refrigerator and dishwasher. Not sure if a thorough covid cleaning happens there. We bought steaks to grill on the BBQ but unfortunately it would not light and we tried everything. We even tried using a lighter but to no avail. Not sure what the deal was but those things need to be maintained to make sure they work. No access at that time of the day to anyone that could help. Murphy bed on landing is a good idea but there is a large desk that almost blocks the entry way. Sunshine through the main windows overlooking the river caused a glare making it hard to watch the TV. The porch was the best part of the home.
