The location was great for our favorite spots and plans for our stay. Lots of space and loved the layout. Was nice being next to the river.

We really enjoyed our stay at this historic home. The house is much larger than it appears in the photos with the master bedroom tucked in the back of the house with a deck overlooking the creek. The location allows you to explore all Main Street has to offer but we also enjoyed the Frog level area just outside our door!

Fantastic location, comfortable beds and a great family room where we were able to play cards and Yahtzee in the evenings after some intense golf matches with my son and my nephew. I would definitely stay here again.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2025
1. I prefer to deal directly w/host rather than through Vacasa--didn't realize that was the case when I booked it. 2. Not sure why others say it's so scenic--yes, technically it's on the river but you also see & hear a busy street.3. Had a hiccup getting into the house--back gate lock was too high for me to reach. 4. Had to keep upping the heat to get it warm enough--even though temp read at 65 (what we keep it at home) it was chilly.5. When we arrived back 1st evening after dinner there was s/one sitting outside the gate who didn't move. We kept waiting for him to leave while we sat in the car, eventually he did leave but it unsettled us. The sign about trespassers on the house didn't help give us confidence.6. House was spacious & comfortable otherwise
