Very Dissapointing

Unfortunately we had a terrible experience in this property. We arrived to a half cleaned place, a trash bag on the door, cleaning products on tables, pillows on the floor, dirty mirrors from the person before brushing their teeth, we didn't even know if they had cleaned the sheets. We were seriously in shock!Apart from that they promised to come clean the next day, which obviously does not make it right and we agreed they would come at noon when we were not there so they don't disturb and they never came. Very disappointed for the price we paid to check in to a half cleaned apt. and all they offered in compensation was an apology and refund half the cleaning fee!

Comfortable with a great river view

This rental was more spacious than expected. Very comfortable and clean. Loved the huge windows in the master bedroom which give a great view of the river. As noted in the property description, trains run immediately behind the building, so it was not a surprise to us. Just be aware you WILL hear and feel the trains passing by overnight.

Trains and River

Cozy property right on river and train tracks. View was amazing and trains were fun. Property is very well maintained, clean, and stocked with needed supplies. Easy to find and convenient parking. The business located on the first floor was loud at times, and trains were loud all the times (they almost always come by during the night). Did not try the provided white noise machine but perhaps that could have helped. A nice visit overall.

Great Location!

This was our first time to the area! This house is in a great location! Columbia is a very cute town, lots of antique shops and restaurants! The house was very cute and clean! Great view of the river! The fire pit was a great way to spend our evenings. We didn’t mind the trains at all!

Scenic Susquehanna

Great location: 20 minutes to Lancaster, 2 minutes to Columbia and less than 10 to Wrightsville and Marietta, both charming and interesting. My only quibble, and it's small, is that this apartment is located next to working railroad tracks. Fantastic for train lovers, but if you have trouble sleeping, could be an issue. Master bedroom has great view of river and trains as does the deck.

Clean, comfortable stay with great views!

Our stay was lovely! The house itself is very clean and well kept. The bedrooms are quite large and the bathroom is updated and clean. There is also a spare bathroom for renters use downstairs and a washer/dryer available. The outdoor area is incredible! A great view of the river, a fire pit, and lots of places to sit and watch the river. The house is on the train tracks, so if you are a light sleeper you might want to bring earplugs! Both rooms have sound machines though. The town isn’t huge, but a quick drive across the river and you’re in a cute area! All in all a great place to stay!
