Comfortable, cozy, and exactly what our family of 3 needed for a relaxing getaway! The house was very clean, welcoming, and had everything we needed — especially a fully stocked kitchen and super comfortable beds.We spent most of our time enjoying the outdoor space and beautiful river views. The neighborhood was perfect for peaceful evening walks after dinner, which quickly became one of our favorite parts of the trip. There’s also a great fire pit and BBQ area that looked wonderful for anyone wanting to spend even more time outside.The rental agents were also fantastic with communication and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, which gave us extra peace of mind during our stay. We would absolutely stay here again!

The cabin was super cute. Good location, close to shops, parks, restaurants and bars.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
I was disappointed in this location. For the price, I expected more. Obviously many seemed to like this place. Tastes vary. I wouldn't stay here again. It was clean and well stocked with kitchen items. W/D worked well. Neighbor cat very friendly. Otherwise, points to consider...Lots of road noise, as Hwy 9 is only 180 ft away and is very distracting as cars bang over the steel bridge plates; plan on 65 dB sustained with peaks of 75 dB; hard to sit outside and relax. The listing touts a view of the river and the sound of the water...if you walk to the lower deck and stand by the rail you can indeed see about 20 ft of the river far below, inaccessible, but the sound of the water can't be heard over the highway noise, nor can you see the river from the cabin or adjacent deck. There isn't a table inside for meals, just the kitchen counter. Four people can only awkwardly eat inside, luckily the picnic table outside seats 4. The bdrms are about 8x10, minimally furnished with a basic bed and dresser, no lamps, pretty cramped. The day bed in the living room is unusual and a strange place to sleep, and the couch is up against the wall facing the front door..to sit with friends and talk, or to watch the tv, requires rearranging furniture. These are observations I would have liked understanding prior to booking but its a gamble evry time. If those items don't bother you then all good. For a quick sleep, it's OK, but for aesthetic appeal and relaxation, it was definitely not for me.
