*Note: This is a gorgeous property, and I get numerous requests for holding events here such as weddings, family reunions, etc., however, we are in a neighborhood and must be respectful of our neighbors, so we can no longer allow events. The city will not allow it. Small gatherings are OK as well as photo shoots with pre-approval. If you are wondering if your idea or gathering is considered an "event" please ask, it is possible that we can work something out.
*Please note that this property is not recommended for elderly/handicapped folks who have difficulty walking as there are stairs to access the property and yard.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
The property ended up being fine but my initial disappointment was due to the property being a bottom level of the house with occupants in the upper level. There are 3 pictures of the house on the property listing, & it's clear there are 2 levels. The listing included the words "...property is all yours, not shared with anyone". So I believed the entire house was what we were getting. That's not true-the entire floor above is occupied. That being said, we never heard noise from above nor were we bothered by anyone. I wish the details of the listing was more clear.

Fantastic location and property! It had everything we needed and more. We used the fire pit, the hot tub and the SUP and Kayaks. We would definitely come again. The only thing I was unaware of was that was the downstairs portion of the owner's house. I thought I had filtered for whole house. But the owner was lovely and helpful.

The property is beautiful!! The view and backyard alone is worth the stay. We were able to have a great wedding weekend and the house was very accessible/amenable to even have grandparents join us to help babysit a toddler and a baby for the actual wedding evening. Also, we were able to walk to a playground and nature trails just down the street. It was an easy drive to downtown.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Nov 2023
Although the backyard and river are absolutely stunning… The house, however, is not. There is a long, very uneven step way down to the underground apartment which is located underneath the main home. There is a SLICK slope to get to the kitchen, And the smell of mildew under the sink is absolutely disgusting. The furniture is extremely uncomfortable. If you want to sleep here, this is not the place. You will hear constant walking and movement above your head when the owners are home. You will also smell their food cooking in your unit as well. This is not a VRBO for anyone over 50.
