The property and river is outstanding. I only wish the house was... There are updates slowly being done and I hope they continue. The price you pay is for the size of the house and the perfect river retreat. With that in mind, you will be pleased. :) ##### ross j. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2021 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### monica r. Jul 14, 2017 #### It was beautiful, spacious, and sometimes interesting. It was a neat experience. We had a good time and the river was awesome. House was very spacious and well set up. Lots of history in that house. It didn't seem like we were alone at times. Nothing bad happened just creepy noises and wind drifts in the house. Other than that we had a great time. Very beautiful and not very many people can stay that they have stayed in a 150 yr old farm house. ##### monica r. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia M. Aug 10, 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our 10th year to stay at this property! We love our time here as a family and the river is beautiful. This is where we gather to spend time away with our grandchildren and our grown children. All of us live in different areas and don’t often get together as a family. So we all use the time to catch up, rest up, and have some fun at the river and one with one another. The house is old and we often experience a few things that do not work as we like. Property owner always gets right on things after a phone call. Our stay could be made better with a more thorough cleaning before our arrival. Floors and dust are the main areas of concern on that end. Bathrooms needs some updates and beds and bedding should be replaced; those two items would go along way in making guests comfortable. ##### Patricia M. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristin S. Feb 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pros and Cons Pro: -Great location for Garner and Lost Maples -Lots of extra beds -Host was very responsive and there were lots of supplies in the rental -Saw many wild turkeys and deer on the property -River access was really pretty and quiet -Utopia general store nearby has all the staples and everything we needed -Every room has their own air conditioning/heating unit Cons -NO INTERNET - this was a big one for me since Verizon wireless also has no coverage in the area. I had printed out directions before our trip, but with spotty coverage for my whole family, were unable to make adjustments. I wanted to look up the park trails, etc before we went but was unable to do so. Also unable to stream movies together in the evenings. -Because of the recent weather everything was muddy. The carport was very muddy and it was impossible not to track mud into the property. -Because it's an old house, no way to control temperature in the living room - we built a fire the last night of our stay but it was messy and just left the room humid and smokey -Water pressure in master bedroom was very weak - possibly from recent storms -We had to pay a cleaning fee and a damage fee in order to book the rental, but were instructed to bring all our linens, towels and trash downstairs at the end of our stay. Wasn't a big deal, and I generally take out the trash anyway, but having to strip the beds seemed like something that would be covered in the cleaning fee. -Definitely needs some improvement. It's an old house and lots of things were not quite right. Bed posts were loose, lots of burnt out light bulbs, showers were not great, bed covers need to be upgraded, etc. ##### Kristin S.
