Excellent small weekend getaway location! Beautiful views. Close to town and decent walk or quick drive to beach. Spacious enough for three of us. Great communication. Yes a little loud at night, but we were prepared for that with ear plugs. The lamps in the bed area didn’t work despite trying different plugs and switches. Probably an easy fix. Mattress on pull out couch could be updated. Great deck area! We’d stay again!!

Pros1. Excellent location with beautiful river views, close to the bridge, and within walking distance of downtown and the beach.2. Spacious deck overlooking the river - perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery.3. Large windows that provide great natural light and stunning river views.4. Elevator access, which is especially convenient when carrying luggage or supplies to this 2nd floor unit.5. Outstanding communication and customer service throughout the stay.Areas for Improvement1. The pullout sofa mattress was not very comfortable. It is inflatable and did not hold air well overnight. An upgrade would improve guest comfort.2. The main bed is a full-size mattress, which may feel small for two adults. The “sleeping 4 comfortably” description is a bit optimistic (helpful to know in case you're planning on renting this condo with a family of 4).3. The space and furniture feel a bit dated relative to the price and could use general updating.5. The TV is quite small and mounted above the closet door, making it uncomfortable to watch.

Great view of Black River from bedroom window. The bridge bells when raised for boats to enter/exit can be heard, along with the nightly tavern noise directly across the river. Plenty of room, comfortable bed, nice small computer desk area in the corner. Easy entrance. Parking challenge as only loading/unloading parking allowed at building-free parking up the road not always available. Competition for road parking. Great shops/restaurants walking distance.

Great location. Comfortable bed. The corner windows made watching the draw bridge a hoot. We really enjoyed sipping our drinks on the private patio. The room was quite small for the price, but its a great place if you like watching the boats. It is also an older building so the architecture is pretty cool. Id stay again.

The location of this condo is amazing, you do need to be prepared for a little extra noise later into the evening on the weekends. But it’s worth a view.

Great Location

Great location in a historic building. Close walking distance to shopping eating and entertainment. Needs updating and some maintenance. Also needs a few amenities such as coffee pods for Keurig. Bed was not comfortable and lightbulbs needed changing in bathroom. The additional price for the Festival weekend, plus all the extra fees made this property far too overpriced for the stay.

Aweful

This was the worst experience at a VRBO that I’ve ever had. When we got there, we found a whole building under construction. We had difficulty getting into the building and into our room when we got there the windows were covered with plastic and there were workers all around. The deck was unusable as it was also under construction. The windows were covered with plastic and there were people on scaffold in front of our windows working this was the worst, but then when we’re ready to leave the plastic covered all the doors and we couldn’t even get out of the building a bit of panic said in, and I started pounding on the doors trying to open it. The workers cut us out of the building.. I feel that we should’ve been fully refunded for this problem. It certainly was no way to spend a vacation. I’ll be interested to see if I got a response to this.

Fun Location

The location and history of this location was a great part of our trip. The deck looking over the Black River was a great bonus and we loved watching the boats go by and the bridge go up and down. The listing says that there is on site parking, but there were not directions of where the parking actually was and we had to ask once we go there and had to drive around to find the parking lot. It is across the street and down a little ways. When we arrived the parking lot on site has a 15 minute loading/unloading zone but it was closed off. We had to make several trips with two small kids to unload all of our things. For me, parking would be the only downfall. Property was very clean and being on the water with water views was a great touch.

We loved the location and the condo itself, this is the third different condo we have stayed at in this building. Location was wonderful but we were disappointed in the cleanliness of the condo. Dust under the couch and the appliances in the kitchen had a layer of dust on them.

Great stay!

The apartment is nice and close to everything. Great beach nearby. People who don’t like noise may not like being near the draw bridge that goes up every half hour, or being near a bar, but we slept ok through the noise.
