The condo was clean and in good order. There were ample supplies. We have stayed in many different places across the US. and I have to say this condo was stocked with many extras, laundry soap, trash bags, shampoo and body wash were available. The patio area was shaded and it was a great place to sit in the evening and unwind. The pools are small but adequate. We travelled with four kids so we frequented the larger pool almost every day. The river access is nice but it is rocky and the current (when we stayed was swift). We found river access around the corner at the local park more convenient for our group. Thew owners were easy to to talk to, accessible, and gave us a head's up about things. Overall it was a great stay. We would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay here. The property was quite possibly the cleanest vrbo that we have ever stayed at. Our favorite thing to do here at the end of the day was to plunk our chairs in the river and watch our boys enjoy the water. I will rent from these owners again at any of their locations!

Loved staying at the condo. We loved the distance to the center of town and everything around it including the park, children's museum and stuff to do with the family. My kids loved the swimming pool and seeing deer up close around there. The check-in was super easy and talking to the property manager was just a text away and they were super fast with a reply. I will definitely be booking here in the future, hopefully in the fall.
