The house was the perfect size for the two of us. The house was very clean and the beds have high quality mattresses. We loved the location. The house felt very private, yet close to grocery stores and other attractions. We enjoyed being right on the river. We did a lot of fishing and had great success. The only negative for us was the traffic noise from the road out front. A lot of cars and big commercial trucks use this road, They also drive very fast on this road, so be aware. The traffic starts very early in the morning so if you are a light sleeper you may want to use the noise reducing machine by the bed or even bring a pair of earplugs. A couple suggestions would be to provide a set of bowls for serving food and maybe making your coffee area a little more inviting, Providing a variety of K-cups and tea bags would be a nice touch. All things being said this was a long overdue vacation and we had a great time.

The property is nice and clean. The only thing that was not clean was all the spider webs on the front porch. The home is beautiful. It does have some draw backs. The house is for six people however the beautiful, large front porch only had two chairs. The fireplace area away from the front porch, only had sitting for four. Our family of six enjoys the outdoors but there was no where for all six of us to hang out together . The owners should really add several nice rocking chairs to the front porch so all 6 guests can hang out together. Lastly, there was no propene in the tank of our grill and there was little firewood provided for our stay. Our first night, we tried to grill steaks; well they did not get cooked because the propane tank was empty. We were told upon reporting this that we had to fill the propane tank ourselves. Also, we were told that if we wanted firewood to go to Lowes. This was very disappointing. We came to relax , not to purchase items needed for the home. Also, please note, you have to cross the road to get to the river. The road is extremely busy!! I was in fear the whole time of my 14 year old teens crossing to go fishing. The public does not obey the speed limit. Without, these things; the house is beautiful and clean. The owner was gracious enough to let us check in several hours early.
