We absolutely loved our stay. The views off the back porch were so serene. The neighborhood is quiet, and the accommodations were extremely comfortable. Our host was so attentive and so helpful when we needed anything. We highly recommend this property.

The house was very clean, and had plenty of room to accommodate us. The property was on a dead end road away from the hustle and bustle of the area, which made it quiet and very relaxing. It has a washer/dryer in it, as well as a pack-n-play and high chair for infants.The only item we did not like was there was a closet in each room to hang shirts/pants, but there are no dressers to put your small clothing items. So unless you put your socks, undies, and small clothing items on the floor, you’re getting into your suitcase every time you need them.Overall we were happy with the rental.

Beautiful river view
The property is very well decorated and has a beautiful river view at its back. The only detail to fix is securing the dish washer to the counter.
