Beautiful unique property!

We very much enjoyed our stay- even caught a catfish in the backyard! My only issue is that it is a 3 bedroom- not 4 like the add says. It also says there is a queen sized bed in the entertainment room and there isn’t. The kids slept on couches and it was fine, but the add should be corrected. That said, it’s a wonderfully unique house in a fantastic location!

Great riverfront location

This is a comfortable home with many amenities. It has a large yard that connects to a small beach and river access. It is in a quiet area that is still within easy reach of the city. The owner communicates well and is thoughtful. Needs were anticipated and addressed before we had even arrived. The family had a great time. We would certainly stay again.

Location is great

Right on the Grand River, this rental had excellent outdoor activities. The house is lived in so there is little separation between the owner’s belongings and rental space. This was challenging at times trying to keep kids out of the owners goods. Two suggestions- lower the island bar stools as they are too tight to fit legs under the new island. (Great island btw). The second suggestion is for new mattresses in the lower bedrooms. One has a big sag in the middle and the other is lumpy. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the great location.

Nice property but issues

Keith sent a nice message before arriving and we assumed the stay would be great. We quickly realized the house was no cleaned, toilets had poop stains and the shower had clumps of someone else’s hair all over and clearly the counter tops had no been wiped down. Unfortunately also upon arrival one of the two bathrooms was broken. We had 5 people and had to share a master suite bathroom the whole weekend, you can imagine the frustration that included. Luckily construction workers were set up outside and let us use their disgusting porta potty outside of his house. We reached out to the owner immediately with no response, second day reached out to owner and still have yet to get a response to this day. Clearly a joke to even try to get help. The second and only toilet almost gave out the first morning we stayed so clearly there was a known plumbing issue.

Not ready for prime time.

Had several home diy projects in process, left a feeling of not ready for guests. House obviously has a pet, dog hair throughout house. House was well equipped and is a very home, on the water. Just needs a deep clean and to complete projects.

Great for certain types of stays! Not for swimming/ floating.

This property would be great for a relaxing stay for a weekend or longer with no intention of swimming or floating on the water. Unfortunately that was the full intentions of our stay and was originally confirmed by Keith it would be possible. When we got there the seaweed and muck was so thick and smelly there was not much we could do. I spent two hours cleaning it up just so we could try and it was still pretty gross. We also did not have air conditioning the entire weekend due to a new system which was also unfortunate. Luckily we had a forgiving group who made it work. Keith was a great communicator, we just were pretty bummed out by the location due to our intentions with the house.
