Ok friends so first, I'm always skeptical of "on the river" descriptions in VRBO type things, bc they usually end up being blocks away. But this beautiful home is LITERALLY, actually ON the river. As in you really truly do go down the backyard stairs and, boom, river. The owners have kept up the backyard and riverfront area so nicely - table & chairs on the backyard patio, picnic table and porch swing on the riverfront. Such a restorative view of local nature after a long day.
The home itself is well-equipped with everything you could need and more, with thoughtful details like a drawer full of first aid supplies, easy access to the home with a secure key in code, and a friendly binder filled with suggestions for things to do in the neighborhood. The mid century modern furniture was both comfortable and attractive, and the owner Todd's photography on the walls was really lovely.
Todd himself was a dream to communicate with. I was actually traveling last minute for my dad's passing and funeral, so you can imagine I was in all sorts of a state. Todd was very communicative, accessible via text, and very helpful with questions I had (even when those questions could have been answered had I read my emails more thoroughly - oops and thank you again!).
My boyfriend and I shared the basement bedroom and bathroom, my sister had one of the upstairs bedrooms and the upstairs bathroom to herself, and there were two more bedrooms upstairs besides that could easily have slept more folks if need be.
The one funny tip I'll share is that both the stairs to the basement as well as the basement itself have skylight illumination! It took the three of us a few days to realize, we kept trying to find the light switch for them during the day 😆
Overall, A++ experience, would absolutely stay here again, highly recommend it.
