This home was an absolute delight to stay in. It spotless, spacious, and instantly welcoming. The cozy couches made family movie nights comfortable, and the soothing sound of the river created a peaceful atmosphere you could enjoy from the living room or even while drifting off to sleep. You can walk right down the steps to the river, which makes it easy to sit by the water or even take a refreshing dip. The riverside balcony was another standout feature, offering a relaxing view made even better by the hammock that invited you to unwind and soak in the scenery. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive whenever I reached out, which made the stay even smoother. With its calming environment, thoughtful touches, and convenient proximity to restaurants and shops, this home is a wonderful choice for anyone looking to relax and spend quality time with their family. I truly hope to return soon.

My husband and I had an amazing stay at Lindsey’s. The apartment was amazing more like a house with amazing views. The house itself was perfect. We absolutely loved the spa right on the water. We met George the neighbor he took us fishing and dropped us off so we could float the river. Caught lots of fish and can’t wait to come back. Thank you for an amazing stay!
