Excellent place for a quick girls weekend! Everything was as advertised in pictures. Ample off street parking, easy access to the property with lock box, the place was clean, beds were comfortable enough. Balcony for a quiet start to the morning and the hot tub at night were what really made the place.The establishments right in town were super convenient but it is also worth it to take the short drive to Alma, many cute businesses.

Fountain City flyway loft with hot tub

The little loft was great. Very private and surprisingly quiet even though it was on a busy road and railway. The hot tub was very peaceful. A little exciting when a train flys by while in the tub but added to the experience. We liked walking around the town and getting beers and food at the Monarch Public House. We will be back.

Central location

This property appears to be a remodeled post office. The remodel to a BnB is top notch. High end cabinets, appliances, laundry, and flooring. Very nice place located within walking distance to good eating and entertaining. Host gave good recommendations and texted after the first night to make sure everything was in order. Nice hot tub overlooking the river and fun watching the trains go by while sitting in the hot tub!

Relaxing on the river

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The location on the river was peaceful and we were like little kids watching the trains go by as we relaxed in the hot tub! Brad even supplies comfy robes and communication with him was easy. Although the bedrooms work for 4 people, the rest of the living quarters are small, so it’s ideal for 2 people. During nice weather it would probably be ok, because there’s a nice deck with fire pit. It was just too cold out for us to make use of it.

Great spot to stay right on the river to see the fall colors. It was fun watching the train go by and amazing that there was 0 train noise or vibration inside this sturdy building. Loved all the activities available in the area including apple orchard, river cruise, side by side adventure etc….
