Disappointing

The most important thing i can warn you of is "Do not believe the hype about the stunning river veiw!" There is a creek bed, it could be a very narrow part of the river i suppose, but it is basically dry. Maybe that couldbe excused due to somewhat dry weather. But a river view is a blatent lie. There are very dense trees blocking any view from a window or porch. I rented this house because of the claim of a river sound and view specifically for my 72 year old mom to enjoy since she is unable to hike. The manager simply told me they couldnt do anything about it when i asked for a discount because the pictures do not show a river. Im sorry, i was going by their word!there were other minor inconveniences that were frustrating as far as appliances and heating system. But the greatest issue is the lie and the excuse. Not to mention the actual owner did not respond to my email at all. And there was a tv in the master bedroom that didnt get a signal. The receptionist told me that the room just didnt have a streaming tv at the time. There are no local channels. She finally agreed to have maintenance bring one. He sat it right in front of the larger tv that did not work. I wonder if they took the working one out after we left? The house is nice and spacious. The bonus room and sauna are pointless and stink of bugspray or mothballs. I will have to clean everything that was in that room from my sons suitcase The smell clings to everything! View from a window or porch. weather.

Disappointed

Location was good but cabin was very dirty and dusty, needs a deep cleaning. Pet hair in carpets and my 2 year kept finding them so had to keep him off carpets. Checked in Sunday and told them tv in bedroom didn’t work and someone came and looked at it and couldn’t figure it out. I called again Monday morning and it wasn’t until Wednesday they told me that that tv doesn’t even have service owner canceled it but took 3 days to find that out. Porch chairs were too dirty to sit on. Kept finding black hair in bathrooms, couldn’t sleep with bedroom fan on high makes too much noise had to turn down super slow. One of the lights in living room with fan doesn’t work. I checked out a day earlier but have left sooner

Wonderful!!

This rental home is just beautiful. We had such a nice time here that we decided to extend our stay an additional 4 days. The home is spacious and exceptionally clean, with beautiful views from the porches and windows. There are plenty of places to relax both inside and out. The kitchen is well stocked and there are plenty of games to keep even the pickiest ones busy and happy. We enjoyed playing corn hole and air hockey and seeing deer in the nearby fields. Some were even spotted walking through the backyard. Beds and showers were good. We were happy to have a washer and dryer so no laundry when we got home! The home is quite comfortable and quiet. We now consider this home as one of our favorite rentals. We highly recommend.

Beautiful property and location

Amazing property. Loved all the wood work that was done around the house. Patio with screen was a fantastic touch. Wish we could spend more time there. Only reason for 4 stars was related to bathroom cleanliness. We rented this place because of the cleanliness reviews. It was clean for the most part however the shower curtains in both bathrooms were quite awful with mold growing all over. They need to be replaced. Easy to fix. Will stay again for sure and I am certain the shower curtains will be replaced.

Another fine stay

This is a very nice house that is well of the beaten path if you want quiet and privacy. Close to waterfalls which we enjoy going to. The wrap around porch gives different views of the property and the large windows are great for early morning breakfast and watching nature. This was our second time at this location and we will stay again when available for future trips. thanks

Really serene

We stayed here for almost a week. We went running in the morning (watch out for a few neighborhood dogs) and enjoyed a cup of coffee on one of the find outdoor porches. It’s really spacious and well equipped for cooking. Enjoyed the ping pong and air hockey! Smooth check in and check out. Leave a generous tip for Penny, the cleaner - it is well deserved. If you can afford this place, you can afford to leave her $40 for cleaning the place.
