Home away from home
Needed a place to stay while in town working. The house was in a very quiet location with deer and other wild life to observe. The bed was very comfortable and the temperature was controlled at east.. The kitchen had everything I needed. Will stay again.

Wonderful secluded mountain getaway
We rented Spirit of the River this past weekend and were highly satisfied with the beautiful house and Pristine staff. Everything was as expected and I was contacted before, during and after our stay. I didn’t have any issues or needs but it was nice knowing they were there for us if we did need them. This rental has to be very new. It was spotless and wonderful. Would definitely rent another property from them again!

The house and location are great. The signage to the property could be improved.
The property manager uses a generic information packet. Many things did not apply to this listing, such as hot tub and no dogs allowed.
The only issue we had was that the out door water spigots had the water turned off and we needed to wash our dog's paws off. We were able to get that resolved.
It was a beautiful place with a great spot to go down to the river.
I felt the total cost for 3 nights was high compared to comparable VRBO's we have stayed at.
