Summary: Overall wonderful stay at this spacious property! River views, kayaking, relaxing on the deck, soaking in the hot tub, enjoying family time! Kids had a ball and bringing the dog was such a nice add. The owner was great and super responsive. The bathrooms could use a bit of updating, but beds were comfy and the kitchen was well-stocked.Highly recommend!!

Summary: The house was very clean and smelled nice. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable, however the upstairs got a little hot so bring a personal fan. Matt was very responsive to any questions we had. The water right off the dock had a bunch of little clams with sharp edges so make sure to bring water shoes if you’re jumping in! Also the elderly couple on the left had the cutest dog named Emma who loved all the pets. We will definitely be back!!

Summary: We had the pleasure to stay here for 5 days and what a wonderfully cozy home! Everything was so easily comfortable, all is exactly as posted, the location on the water is incredibly peaceful, the hot tub is a huge plus, and our stay was completely enjoyable. The owner was extremely responsive throughout the booking and even easily helped us extend our stay by a day (how much we liked it!). Highly recommend!

Summary: Such an awesome location, beautiful home, yard right on the river. Very safe and nice neighborhood, warm and welcoming neighbors! My kids were able to fish from the dock with ease, caught quite a few fish. The hot tub and fun collection of DVDs, games and books were a big bonus Super comfortable for everyone, including our two dogs. Definitely a wonderful place to stay.

Summary: Matt is a breath of fresh air. He is charming, responsive, helpful, knows the area, & he & his wife have done an amazing job with this old but beautifully updated property. THE HOUSE: Cozy w/room for 7 plus seating for guests. Bedrooms are COMFORTABLE. The bathrooms were great, very functional, with enough towels for everyone. INDOOR FUN: TVs where you needed them with a Blu-Ray player & plenty of movies, Matt & his wife have great taste in movies in my humble opinion. Games for the family, a small selection but good. An eclectic book collection, kids enjoyed Garfield while we all enjoyed The Far Side. OUTDOOR FUN:A caveat – this is a river so there’s green stuff on the edge. It won’t hurt you. We loved the kayaks. The dock ladder was loose when we were there, but it is probably already fixed– without that ladder, it’s hard to get out of the water. We jumped off the end of the docks, but not too far (fast boats). We chose to go to Peterson Park Beach for the inflatables (bring cash) HOT TUB: Very pleasant. If you leave the cover off when it’s cool outside, the hot tub will get cool. When you’re not in the water, put the cover back on. Nicely lighted so as to not wreck your night vision. RESPONSIVENESS: We asked about a DVD/Blu-Ray player night before we arrived. It & movies were there. We asked how to rent boats, we had a list & he bought the two kayaks. When we had a concern or question, he responded, even came during our second day to fix stuff. Great place to stay & play!
