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.

Very relaxing with gorgeous scenery! The house was beautiful. The smart house aspect was a little daunting as we don’t have that at home but we figured it out. Otherwise it was lovely. Close to hiking!
