My husband and I visited for a short getaway weekend. This house was perfect! It was beautiful, clean, well-stocked, and cozy. The view was absolutely stunning. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the front porch, watching the sunrise, and listening to the birds chirp. Downtown was close by and adorable!! So many cute little shops and the river runs through town. We even saw live Elk. We can't wait to visit again!!

Peaceful Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was probably the best place I’ve ever stayed at! It was clean, relaxing, and the view was breathtaking! The host was extremely nice and helpful. We ended up getting stuck not too far from the place, due the rain and mud (and my husband’s backing up skills 😉). We called them right before the office was going to close and they sent someone right over to help us. Between the amazing rental and the gracious host, I’d definitely love to stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was wonderful. We came from Fort Myers, FL a day early due to the Hurricane. I called ahead of time to see if it was available for an additional day and it was! Very peaceful setting, quite neighborhood, beautiful inside and out. After the storm passed, the rental agency called to see if we made it okay and if everything was working. Very nice of them to make that call. I will definitely be renting from Yellow Rose again. Such a professional and great experience. The property was awesome and so were the employees that I spoke with. Unmatched from an Airbnb!
