Property was in a great location and very convenient. Clean property and check in was very easy. Our big issue was the listing states that there are 4 beds (2 Queens & 2 Twins) however, there are actually only 3 beds. The day prior to the trip I got a message about check in and wanted to confirm with the host that there were 4 beds. I never got a response until the morning of checkout about is was about what we needed to clean before leaving. So 1 guest slept on the couch. Property was great but that was a big inconvenience.

Excellent communication with the owner, great location is near everything , very clean and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. The only detail is they described river front and it’s not. The river is across street and you can’t see from the house.

Perfect Vacation Stay

I stayed here with my family for Christmas break and we loved it! It was spacious and had everything we needed. The location was in a more secluded area but very close to town. Abby was a great host and very responsive with any issues we had. Overall we had a great stay!

The house was clean and contained good amenities. We enjoyed the grill and firepit. Unfortunately, we did not see the nice cutting knives under the over until we were leaving. The fire alarm is extremely sensitive. Each time we cooked on the stove, it set the alarm off. Last, the VRBO posting states there is a twin bed with trundle. We did not find this.
