Good-not great

Location is awesome as we have stayed 2 homes down in the past, property mgt group good to assist with issues of the dishwasher having no power but not resolved before we left. The kitchen lacks proper utensils and platters for families, mostly older and extremely used items, everything sticks to pans when cooking. Furnishings are in the cheaper/older side… No central AC and portable ones took quite a while to cover the heat. Beds slept well. “1 shower”Porch and yard area is great. This is a “good” rental, could use some tlc and upgrades.

Peaceful, quiet, relaxing

Overall, very nice, clean. On-line description is not accurate. No shower upstairs. Bed upstairs is nailed to the wall. You have to crawl over your sleeping partner to get to or out of the wall side of the bed. Steep driveway with a sharp turn that took us 2 tries to get to the top. Tires were smoking! Scenery and river were beautiful. River bank too steep to get into river. Pretty to look at though.

Fun family vacation

Overall nice. House is a little dark. VRBO website needs updating as it said 2 showers, only had 1 and a very old jetted tub. Also no AC, only a small unit that can cool 1 room. Noticed after we booked that rental agency has more accurate information. Good location and house was clean
