This place could be a 5 star with some TLC, but simply isn’t. Communication with the property manager was quick but the follow through was often not.The good: beautiful scenery out the back. Well stocked kitchen & large dining area. Adequate sectional & living room. Fun putting green out back and nice fire pit. Pool table was a plus. Location convenient to town. Quiet neighborhood for walks. The inaccurate: house does not sleep 16 unless someone is on a couch. Bedroom 5 is shown as having 2 twins and 1 double, but only has a twin bunk over a full or queen, with an inaccessible ladder. The only office I could identify was a desk with a stool in one of the bedrooms. The listing boasts a game room/arcade. Not sure if this refers to the pool table or the large dining table, but I wouldn’t call either one a game room. We were told there were children’s toys there, but found nothing other than card games. You can’t see the river from the house. It is a short, but steep, walk down and a good deal of mud at the bottom. A large fallen tree makes river access challenging.The bad: a set of sheets with blood on them. Not enough towels. The overhead kitchen light didn’t work and was not corrected when we inquired about it. The hot tub was cloudy, treated 24 hours after we reported it, then turned green and then back to cloudy. Peeling wallpaper. Sketchy shower drain in one bathroom. The place usable but tired and needs a refresh.

It was fine. Generally the interior is adorable and comfy, but not well lit. We ended up using flashlights while playing a game in the main living room. The property managers responded quickly about several light bulbs needing replaced and offered to have them shipped to the house.

Plenty of space, but beds were not very comfortable. The property looked secluded and right on the river and it was really in a suburban subdivision that didn’t really align with the price point for this property.

Just what we needed

We stayed here as a break between stressful events/ a change of environment/ a few days to recharge and relax. As it was March, the house interior was the main focus and where we spent the majority of our time since it was too cold to enjoy much of anything outdoors- though the view out back was beautiful and there would be many things to enjoy on the property outdoors in nicer weather. The house was spacious and decorated warmly. We were able to spread out and not be in each other's faces unless we wanted to be. The kitchen was obviously stocked by owners who live there at times/use it themselves- the amount and variety of cookware, bakeware, utensils, appliances, linens, and minutiae that make up a fully functional kitchen for someone who cooks most/all meals at home was exceptional. All we needed was a quick trip to the local grocery store for perishables and we were set for our stay. For us, the one most important amenity that set this property apart from others available at the time (winter/cold weather) was the "real" fireplace. There is almost nothing more relaxing than a beautiful, crackling, wonderful-smelling wood fire. We had a local individual deliver enough wood for our time there, and using it every afternoon until we retired for the night was the highlight of our stay. It nourished our souls. I was able to work remotely with no issues; the internet service was fast and reliable on all devices. The owner was quick to respond to all of our questions before and during our stay. The only thing we would change is just a personal preference: there were no blinds for privacy on the windows that look out onto the neighborhood, and we are very private people who are uncomfortable with everyone walking/driving by being able to see inside when it's dark outdoors/lights are on indoors- most especially the large windows in the living room (which had a single sun-filtering shade on the center window only). We would definitely stay here again in the future, and would love to return when it's warmer so we can enjoy the outdoor amenities. This property goes on our "favorites" list of places we've rented.

Not as depicted, disappointing stay.

There were multiple issues with the property during our stay: -wifi connectivity issues -showers leaking and ceilings falling down -grill was unable to be used (rotted with gas leaking) -no central air conditioning, house was 80 degrees during our stay -could not open windows (no screens available) -smokey smell radiated throughout the house -no batteries in most smoke detectors Property manager did reply and come to the residence, but was unable to fix or solve the many concerns and issues during our stay. Overall, we were very dissatisfied with our stay. We traveled from Massachusetts, Virginia, and Illinois to attend a family wedding. We had elderly grandparents and two pregnant women staying and were left very uncomfortable all weekend. We have left a message with the property management company as well as VRBO with pictures to support these concerns.

Great house for large groups in a quiet neighborhood

We stayed here with a group of eight and it was fantastic for a large group. The large common spaces inside and outside were great for us to hang out and the large and well stocked kitchen were great for cooking meals together. It's very remote, but that's what we were looking for. It also has access to a river in the back yard which is quite pretty. Communication was a bit disjointed as I got calls from two or three different people at different times and the owners' pet rabbit was in the basement of the house (in a pen), though we were never notified about this ahead of time.
