Apr 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay We stayed for a month as our home was being repaired after a flood. Home was well appointed for a long stay. Very clean. We appreciated all the attention to detail in the furnishings and decor. It really made us feel at home. Location is fantastic- between being right on the river and being able to walk to numerous restaurants, shops, parks and the library, it was fabulous. The yard is HUGE. Sadly the weather did not cooperate to take advantage of it often but we would love to have had a bonfire in the gorgeous yard. Would highly recommend this property! ##### Kylie C.
