Jan 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, beautiful, quiet Very happy with accommodations. Only negative was mattress in river-facing room—super lumpy and worn. Otherwise, GREAT property and good winter pricing. Would stay again. ##### Aaron L.
