Great location!

This house was perfect for our company. We were able to spread out and have our own rooms. The host was amazing! We unfortunately had scary weather while we were there and Kapil went above and beyond to make sure we were safe. Would definitely stay here again!

Care Free

From the time of Booking Kapil was great at communicating. He was very professional and polite through out our stay, checking in and allowing us to reach out at our convenance. The property was as advertised. A quite location on the river with local bars and restaurants within walking distance. Our group enjoyed the backyard in the evenings playing corn hole and sitting around the fire. The place was very clean inside and out and all things where in working order. I would highly recommend for large groups as there is plenty of space to hangout or take a few minutes away from the group when you need it. I have stayed in a ton of VRBOs and this one is in my top 10 for overall value, host performance, and cleanliness.

Wonderful in every way!

Fantastic experience! The property was exactly as described and the booking experience smooth and easy. All of my questions were answers promptly. Check-in was a breeze with fantastic lighting outside when arriving after dark. The propertly is beautiful and our corporate group enjoyed the stay immensely. The property met every need we had from the private spaces, group gathering and meeting spaces and comfortable outdoor areas. The views along the river are gorgeous and sunrise over the river was spectacular. The kitchens met our needs when we cooked in and there are also great dining options nearby for eating out or carrying out. Will definately book here again!
