Summary: The property was very clean and had many extra touches. However, our weekend getaway was impacted by loss of electricity. The house is on a very busy road with semis driving 55mph. The noise couldn’t be heard inside but it was loud outside when sitting on the beautiful deck. During our stay, the power was out for several hours. Without air conditioning, lights, television, or the ability to flush toilets, we were forced to alter our plans substantially. We noticed a strong sewage-like odor coming from the bathroom sink and shower, which made it very difficult to sleep in the adjacent bedroom. The smellWhen we brought this to the owner’s attention, we were told that odors might occur due to barometric pressure changes.From our own research and understanding, a power outage can indeed cause septic systems to malfunction. Loss of power disrupts waste processing, potentially leading to wastewater backup and foul odors inside the home. Given that the power outage and the odor occurred simultaneously, it’s likely these issues were related.Telling a guest that we should have gotten travel insurance is not the answer. Maybe invest in a generator.

Summary: The cabin is very cozy and inviting. It's in a beautiful location along the river and felt secluded, even though access to stores and restaurants was not far away. It felt like a nature retreat. I wish I could have enjoyed the deck, hot tub, and view more. Unfortunately, it rained the entire weekend. My arrival was very warm and welcoming. Low lights were on, instrumental music was playing, and the owners were kind enough to have some lovely complimentary items waiting for me. Communication was responsive and thorough. Everything is well stocked and easy to locate thanks to very thoughtful labeling and instructions throughout the cabin. It is very apparent that the hosts wanted their visitors to feel at home. I certainly did. I really loved my stay and found it very relaxing. I would be happy to return in the future and hopefully be able to enjoy everything it has to offer.

Summary: Was clean and had everything you would need. Nice fire pit and hot tub, with a short walk to the water in the back yard. Was easy to get to, and a short drive to restaurants and stores. Everything is exactly as advertised.We were especially surprised at the complementary pumpkin bread and wine left for us to start the weekend. That was definitely a first for us of all places we've stayed throughout Ohio.

Summary: Had a pretty amazing week here with the wife, kid, and dogs. Sunsets on the back porch from the hot tub were incredible. Fully enclosed back porch was very helpful with the dogs. Overall the place was very baby and dog friendly.
