10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
We LOVED this property!!—The 4 level outdoor space right on the river with seating at each level.—The view and sound of the river with rafts and kayaks going by, as well as the woods and mountain across the river—The indoor space is attractive, comfortable, and very clean with much attention to detail.—The small kitchen area had all we needed but we didn't actually do much “cooking”.Communication was prompt and excellent. We look forward to returning soon.

This property is absolutely beautiful and well located. You can hear the river from every room with the windows open. The views from the porch were stunning. The apartment was well equipped and had everything we could need for our stay. The kitchenette has equipment for small meals and such. There is a small oven but we didn't have a need to use it. The host was very thoughtful with snacks and drinks upon our arrival and was very quick to respond to any questions or needs we had while we were there. We would definitely rent again!

Amazing stay. It was so peaceful right on the water. Very private and quiet - exactly what we were looking for. Can't wait to rebook!
