We loved this place! The home features wonderful location, ample room for sleeping 20 guests, large kitchen-dining areas, and outdoor space (covered patio area and patio one level above river). The location is close to the highway and a store if you need it. Additionally, you can do a loop around the river easily from here. We'll be back!

Nice stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Microwave not working right. Lot of dripped oil in the one oven that makes lot of smoke when try to use it. An electric kettle is a good idea to have in the kitchen. There is a possible leak under the kitchen sink. Also no hangers in the closets. A bed bench is advisable to all rooms.
