Great location & back yard area

We loved the back yard area, but the house was older and needed some updating. Location was perfect, and very close to stores etc. The layout of the house was cool (and VERY roomy), and perfect for large families/groups. I feel that it was a bit overpriced compared to other homes in the area, but would certainly stay again if it was updated.

Had a large group of family and friends there it was great, even though it rained a little it did not stop us! We floated ,sat in the river, cooked out, sat around the fire pit, played corn hole and played a lot of music (we have a gifted family blessed with live entertainment). We really could not have asked for a better place!!thank you for offering your home we loved it! Can not beat this location!!

Amazing stay loved our time there.

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: So much fun, we wore ourselves out. We grilled every night and played games way to late at the big table. Floated up and down the river. Wish we had set up for two extra nights. We are all planning our trip next year. May need a larger place. Icing on the cake was the very large Owl on our balcony on our last day early in the morning. He left as we got up.

Good location but house needs updating

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we enjoyed our stay in this house for the 4th of July. But that is only because of the river and location. The house needs serious attention, though. Eventually, decent renters are going to quit coming if these things aren't given some attention. First, the front large bunk bedroom needs a window unit or something to help keep it cool. It stayed 10-15 degrees cooler than the rest of the house. Our kids stayed in there and eventually had to end up sleeping on the couch because it was just too hot. The kitchen was ok. Good have been cleaner. We experienced sugar ants and a coffee pot that was so nasty with ants in it as well. I sent a picture and email to the NBE with this complaint and never heard back. They were closed for the holiday and I was told to only call with an emergency. Given these things aren't emergency and didn't notify them of anything else at the time. I ended up going to buy a coffee pot at the local dollar store. The main door going out to back deck overlooking the river doesn't stay closed at all. It pushed back open the whole trip so this was an ongoing issue. We ended up putting a shoe behind it to keep it from opening back up each time. The downstairs had a terrible smell of mold. And it could have been updated to look more appealing. The outside of the downstairs patio was deplorable. It needs major pressure washing, sweeping and overall attention. The outside bathroom was unusable. The light was so dumb you could not see at all and there was over 100 mosquitos surrounding the toilet so it was useless even if you could see. Neighbors are on both side extremely close. The never bothered us but just know that if you are seeking privacy. You don't realize that in the pictures. Overall we enjoyed it, but only because of river access and location. Please give some attention to the house though.

The house sits on the river ready for you to float down.... Or just get in and enjoy it right there! The house was clean and had everything we needed. My parents had no problem at all walking from the house to the river- they spent most of their time down there just watching people float by.

The stay at this property was great! Very comfortable and plenty of room for the max number of occupants (we had 12). The backyard was perfect for hanging out in the river by day and sitting and chatting by the fire at night. Great location as well! Highly recommend.

This property is located in an AMAZING spot- the river is right in the back and there are some steps into the water to help most get into the water. The kitchen/ bathrooms are a little outdated BUT we didn’t come for those. The photos of the property look as if the backyard is fenced in but there are actually three properties that are connected without a fence in between. The description on here doesn’t indicate a weight limit for dogs but there is a 50lb. weight limit on dogs. It’s hard to tell which bedrooms are upstairs (main floor- level with the garage) and which are downstairs (closer to the river) but there are two bedrooms downstairs each with their own bathroom- one queen bed and one king. Everything else is upstairs; this house can be tricky for people with mobility issues. There was a HUGE broken limb in one of the trees over the walkway to the river that we used the whole time- luckily it fell the last night and no one was under it- this could have been very bad and I would hope the property is looked over outside to prevent future accidents. Communication was GREAT and fast with the owners and we had a great time!

A very nice experience!

The layout of the house is perfect for big groups! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. I thought the furnishings were comfortable and homey. The beds were comfortable, and we found everything to be clean. The personalized toiletries were a nice touch! The location right on the river was amazing! Also, there is a tubing spot right across the street! And stores were a quick drive down the road for anything we needed.Cons:- slight mildew smell in the basement rooms, but nothing to bother us for a couple of nights- the property is right next to other houses with no fence- This is at no fault of the Vrbo, but the private residence next door had young people partying very late both nights. They woke up the house at 3am in the morning. They were also stealing the chairs and campwood from the Vrbo property. I didn't see any other reviews complaining about the neighbors, so I hope it was a one off, but it ruined our sleep both nights.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: River access was perfect for my family and small grandchildren. Plenty of room in the house for everyone to have a room to sleep in. Kitchen is spacious with plenty of counter space. The kitchen does need more serving bowls and variety of pots and pans and bakeware. The downside to house was the cockroaches and the back door that would not latch. Would stay again if the house is exterminated!
