It is located on a very quiet road with lots of privacy. Plenty of space with three bathrooms and spread out so everyone had plenty of space. The kitchen is fully equiped and everything we needed. The view from the back balcony was perfect. At dusk saw many deer and so peaceful. I would highly recommend this house. We will be back for sure ##### scott s. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily T. Nov 26, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, unique home We had a wonderful stay and loved the home and the location on the Medina river. My only feedback would be to make it a little more explicit in the listing that the back porch hangs over a steep cliff with relatively low railings. it was referenced in the liability release but it would be good to include in the listing so folks traveling with small children (like us) are aware at the time of booking. Including a picture of the home from the River could suffice. We were wary of that the whole time because of our fearless 1 year old but all in all we enjoyed the home, the field for running around and the proximity to the river and walking trails. ##### Emily T. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph D. Aug 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Second time at the river house and loved it. Super fun for kids and pets. ##### Joseph D.
