Jul 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing River Rental This was such a sweet little place, just perfect for my husband and I. Everything about our stay was just what you’d want it to be when you have to be away from home. It was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. We spent every morning on the deck enjoying coffee and a beautiful view. The kitchen was set up so that we were able to make meals, there was room to get comfortable and watch tv, and there was internet so that we could watch tv or work on the computer. Very comfortable and a place we’d come back to if we were in the area. ##### Jeanne R.
