A rest on the river
The home is exactly as shown. The location on the river is great. Its peaceful. The neighbors great white Pyrenees Joey stopped by. He was so sweet! We watched the geese, ducks, a woodchuck ran acroos the yard. Birds including a cardinal and every kind of woodpecker. There is one main floor bedroom for grandma and grandpa. We appreciated that! Upstairs was amazing for the kids and family. You will enjoy this little peice of heaven!!

Pleasantly surprised
I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. I travel all over the united states this time of year for college wrestling. I have never rented a house before. I am now sad that I didn't choose this option before. The house did not disappoint.. Everything in the house looks almost brand new. From the flooring to the bedding. The house was nicely equipped with everything that you need. It had an awesome view. We had two minor issues with working the fireplace and the projector tv. The house host Mitchell, responded quickly. They were not broken we just couldn't understand how to use them. It is on a dead end road. It was very quiet and we all had wonderful nights of sleep.
