We had a wonderful stay. The house was beautiful, very clean, and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. The neighborhood is absolutely charming, just a short walk to the river. Being that it is only a block away from my son and his family we will definitely be staying here again.

Short visit -- wish it was longer
The house is very comfortable and we would definitely stay again. We were only in town for a few days to visit family, so we didn't take full advantage of the kitchen and backyard, but this was a very nicely furnished place and we will absolutely book again. The kitchen, bedrooms and living spaces are generously sized, spotless and bright. The bathroom is tiny-- very functional, but small- just a heads up in case you don't like tiny showers. We felt very much at home in this place.
