We loved it and the property manager responded quickly with feedback to our questions! This property is superb and way better than the hotel accommodations in the area! ##### Jennifer S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### william l. Sep 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house interior was pretty new and very clean. Very happy with it. The property though: The listing does not say that the property is shared with another larger rental house. The pool and other facilities are shared. The River area was unmaintained and looked nothing like the photos. The dock was no longer level but did feel sturdy. ![The river area 9/14/25](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cc6db898-bb87-4dd4-819c-66b59e63c582-1758140772602.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### william l.

Mar 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Sister Birthday Celebration Our stay was great only flaws that I can complain about the gate gave of trouble continuosly #5 & #8 didnt wrk well and since the code needed both we got stuck at the gate numerous times and the dryer didnt work which made keeping clean towels for 4 women very difficult for a 4 night stay. Also the other properties were listed in the description so we werent aware of the opportunity for multiple parties to stay at the same time. Overall great place & great host will definitely stay again ##### Apree A.
