Location was awesome, views from the house, patio and dock were very peaceful. The house is huge, downstairs kitchen was convenient. Paddle boarding and kayaking across the cove was fun and exciting. Upstairs kitchen needed more dishes and a pizza pan.

6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
Pros: the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were updated and clean. The location and decks by the pond were very nice. The size of the house was good. The washer and dryer were newer and worked well.Cons: the kitchens were not stocked well. There were plates and glasses, but worn out teflon pans and less than basic necessities. Cooking was a nightmare. The oven was NOT clean. There was one kitchen towel and 2 sponges. 1 garbage bag. Lightning was weird/dark. Barely enough towels for guests. Dining chairs had already scratched the flooring, need rugs or felt on chairs.The outdoor space was nice, but only 3 plastic chairs and a very tiny and dirty charcoal grill in the yard. (We had hoped to grill for our dinners, we did not) No outdoor tables or seating . We used the kayaks, which were nice to have with the river right there. The kayak rack was rusted and bent.With a handful of changes, this could be a decent place. As it was, it was passable but we would not stay here again. The check-in process was great and the owner was responsive to our questions. We were kind of disappointed but had good sleep and a nice time in the area.
