This was a pleasant place to stay. The hosts are hospitable and the view is excellent for watching the freighters! There are parts of the home that are being redone but it doesnt impact the home's comfortability or functionality. We enjoyed our stay here!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The site is exceptional with a large riverside lawn and river view of freighters going by day and night. Very cool. The interior was clean, however, on entering the house, there was an overpowering and annoying smell coming from three plug in air fresheners which lingered well after we unplugged them and which had us wondering if there was something else being masked. The interior is also an unfinished work in process, which we were somewhat cautioned about after booking, but before our arrival date, though that should be moot by next year when they are finished with the renovations. Finally, the bathroom/laundry room had the cheapest toilet paper available, a small, but easily avoidable annoyance that every guest will notice.

The place was sparkling clean and had everything you needed in the kitchen. The owner left a basket of snacks and juice in the fridge and everything for s’mores. Excellent location for viewing the freighters and to the locks. Met the host she was very friendly. Thank you for sharing your place

Check in went smoothly. Place is very clean. Host had snacks which were very appreciative. A box to make Smores which we didn't. But awesome gesture. Host was spot on when we needed batteries for remote. Which was the only reason we needed to. The kitchen was very well equipped. Bathroom had plenty of towels an supplies also. The freighters were so cool to watch. With the app Marine Traffic we knew when they were comin. Very close to everything. Would Love to stay again when we get back up this way.

The property was super clean and very comfortable. The view of the freighters on the St. Mary's River was amazing! We loved sitting by the water with a nice fire to keep us warm. The dry firewood provided was excellent since we had a lot of rain during our stay. All the little touches like snacks and smores fixin's were very much appreciated.

Cute little house. Clean and quiet. Watching the freighters go by in the front yard was amazing. We saw six go by and missed a few more. They are amazingly quiet! House was well stocked and comfortable. Would stay again!
