May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Memorial Weekend We had an amazing peaceful stay. We enjoyed how everything from the covered porch and the covered back patio. The fire pit was relaxing and listening to the little creek was so serene. We appreciated the little touches, the little snacks, bottles of water and the use of the grill to cook on. The property manager was absolutely amazing when my friends got turned around, she went above and beyond helping them find the residence. ##### Heather C.

Jul 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Annual Birthday Float Trip We booked here because none of the cabins we normally stay at were available and it ended up being the best place we have stayed on our annual river trip. The house was great and even better than pictured. Everything we needed was available and the owners go above and beyond doing little things that make it special like the smores, snacks, bottles of water in the rooms and many other little things. The location is so peaceful and it is minutes from Lazy River Floats which we tried for the first time also and was a great place to float with. We woud definitely stay here again. Best trip so far. ##### Kimberly S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brooklyn U.

Clean and unique property in a nice neighborhood not far from all the river resorts. Property manager communicated with us throughout the entire process from when we booked it to even after we checked out. We actually came over-prepared for our trip because so many things we thought to bring were already provided there for us. I would definitely book this place again. ##### Hayley M.

We all agreed we would absolutely stay here again next time. ##### Jody C. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan H.

If there was a negative, it was that there was only one TV. However, we were having too good of a time to even turn it on. Lol. Would absolutely book this place again. ##### Bryan H.
