We had a great stay and loved the location and view of the river. The place was very clean and well stocked. There was also a basket full of snacks and goodies for us. The refrigerator also had bottled water and drinks. The host was very kind and responsive to us. We will definitely be back again.

Older house but very clean with comfortable beds. They had everything we might need while using the house. A birthday banner and plates were left for us with some treats. Very nice of them. Would definitely stay there again.

Very nice place! We felt right at home. Our annual family reunion is held two miles away at the Mary Jane Thurston State Park so it was the perfect location for us.

This is a true VRBO others should learn from Karen. Well stocked house and kitchen. Has all your essentials for a stay such as cooking utensils, welcome basket and the essentials for your stay such as coffee, spices and condiments. Bathroom stocked incase you forgot something. Property is just anazing, beautiful and well maintained. Karen is an amazing host that works hard for you to enjoy your stay. Cannot say enough about this property. I can not wait to my next stay.

The house was beautiful and very clean. Well stocked and even had some necessities on case you forgot something. Kitchen had everything you would need for cleaning. Loved the welcome basket the smores were a great treat as well as the popsicles.

10.0 / 10.0

We had a very quiet, peaceful and enjoyable time. We would definitely rent it again. We loved the fact that it was completely stocked with items that we really enjoyed.

10.0 / 10.0

We really enjoyed the river access and brought our ski boat to the house. The views from the back of the house were great and being able to boat from Grand Rapids to Napoleon was ideal. We even stopped in at Lallys Marina next door for a ski rope and bag of ice.

10.0 / 10.0

Very comfortable place to stay, well stocked will all amenities needed. Being on the river is a plus also. Everyone enjoyed themselves, we will be staying again.

10.0 / 10.0

This is our second stay at this property and we loved it! The owners are incredibly thoughtful and we loved the basket of goodies! We were there during a very hot time of the year and the air conditioning was great. The house is very clean and there's plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and relax. There are several places to eat within 15 minutes or so, and the kitchen is well appointed if you want to make easy meals at the house. We really enjoyed sitting in the back yard watching the boats on the river and taking in the beautiful sunsets.

10.0 / 10.0

The place was immaculate and as stated in the vrbo. We did s'mores, caught a couple cat fish and watched scary movies and we tried the lil towns food and Snyder's pizza is on point. Definitely would book them yearly to see my son for the weekend!!!

8.0 / 10.0

This house exceeded all my expectations! The only complaint I have is the bed mattress was super hard, felt like I was sleeping on the floor. I would not use this property again ONLY because of the bed. Everything else was outstanding!

8.0 / 10.0

If cleanliness is next to godliness then this property is a piece of heaven … with a view! Host was most gracious rescuing us, at the last minute, from an abrupt cancellation of another property. Many, many stars!!

10.0 / 10.0

I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The host left a basket of snacks which was extremely thoughtful (and there were even a couple bottles of wine in the fridge!!). The house was spotless and the location was beautiful (right on the Maumee river). I contacted the host prior to booking to ask about the location with relation to a wedding we were attending and he responded within 30 minutes. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Zero complaints. Thank you!!

This is the 2nd time my family stayed at the house and it’s just perfect. We love being on the water and making s’mores by the fire. The owners are amazing and truly make you feel at home. Highly recommend.

Great property. Wonderful view of the river. Clean house with plenty of room. We enjoyed everything about it.

8.0 / 10.0

Nice, peaceful, relaxing. Hosts went over and above. Only problem was the steps down to water and firepit and carrying things down, especially firewood. Safe neighbothood for someone traveling alone.

10.0 / 10.0

This home has thought of everything…. It’s clean, very very well-stocked and overall just so thoughtful with a beautiful welcome basket and kitchen supplies. The river was so much fun for us to make a fire and just enjoy the view! A great location and would highly highly recommend staying here. Has everything you need and a very comfortable place for a family!

10.0 / 10.0

We thank you for sharing your home with us. We loved the location because I was visiting a friend that lived on the other side of the river and came to pick us up on her pontoon!! My husband and son got in a lot of fishing, so that was a plus!! If available we will stay with you again. Thank you again Susan DiVenuto-Young

The house was great for visiting with family. Plenty of open space inside. The space at the river was fun for all. Dining and ice cream was just down the road in Grand Rapids. We will stay again.

This was a great place to stay! We were in town for the weekend visiting family, and the location couldn't have been better. The house was clean and cozy, and the river view out back was just gorgeous! The host provides a lot of little extras to make you feel comfortable, and we had a really great time.

Nice and very clean home everything we needed is right there the dock worked out great for our jet skis,the welcome basket with all the goodie’s was great. Will definitely be renting again in the future Thanks James

This house was absolutely perfect for us. We are a family of four with two teenagers. We're originally from Northwest Ohio with family now scattered from Toledo to Napoleon. This location was perfect for visiting family and just relaxing. I had forgotten how lovely the river is and how pretty the surrounding little towns are. With 24 going all the way through now, the location is great. The house is very clean, extremely well equipped, and the welcome basket!!! They give you all the goodies for s'mores and wine too!! What a great surprise! If you're looking for a quiet getaway, some river fun, or just scenic views close to Toledo, this is it. I will stay here every time I visit family. Way better than a hotel! Hosts were also very responsive... Texted us after a thunderstorm with a power outage to tell us when the power would be back on and asking if we needed flashlights or candles. We were super impressed with all the extras like the coffee pods, extra blankets and pillows, and the welcome basket. They also have lots of seating outside and inside. Loved the chairs outside too. These hosts thought of everything and we can't wait until our next visit!

10.0 / 10.0

Much needed relaxing and peaceful weekend getaway. Loved the water view. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely like to stay here again!

10.0 / 10.0

This little house is a gem! The river views are gorgeous, but the house itself is efficiently presented, clean, and every need or want was thoughtfully provided for. If needed, response was quick. Thank you for the wonderful welcome basket, stocked with everything to enjoy the fire pit which is located on the riverside. Close to the quaint town of Grand Rapids which offers shopping, dining, and festivals. Don’t miss out on this experience!

10.0 / 10.0

Great place to stay at! The river is right outside where you could relax and enjoy the scenery. The living room area is very spacious with multiple areas to sit, study, read, or relax. Our host Karen effectively communicated and answered any questions or concerns we had. Overall a wonderful time!

10.0 / 10.0

Great weekend! Just what the doctor and my bartender ordered. Great view of the Maumee river. Brandon and Karen were awesome and prepped the stay w some snacks and a nice, cool house. Highly recommend.

10.0 / 10.0

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at this property and would definitely book it again! The canal boat ride in downtown Grand Rapids, just a few minutes way, was a unique experience, but I particularly liked our time staying at "home" watching my kids play in the river from a shaded chair on the riverbank and catching beautiful views out the windows while eating or chatting in the evenings.

10.0 / 10.0

Check in and check out couldn't have been easier. Nice property. Will stay here if I have future trips to the area.
