Comfortably slept 10 overnight and could have slept a few more. Amenities were fantastic and the combination of the open first floor plan and patio/fire pit were perfect for a group of around 40\. Plenty of parking and even small cars had no trouble navigating the elevation change from the road to the house. Everyone raved about what a great venue it was. Just excellent all the way around. ##### Mark Z. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antonia P.

Firstly, the communication with Tobi was the best I’ve ever had with a booking, even when there was a hiccup over the weekend with the hot tub. Tobi, was very accommodating. The privacy of the home and location on the river is just unmatched. This was the perfect getaway for our group! We had a blast floating in the river, using the fire pit, and the boat rentals were a great touch. The home itself had an incredibly large kitchen which made group dinners easy. And the common space was great. I really don’t think we’d change a thing about our trip. Location, the home itself, and the amenities were unmatched. We’re already planning our next trip back!!! ##### Antonia P. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Raju T.

There is lot of bugs below the cushions. Internet was very bad. Property had river access but no supply of Kayaks or Boats. Near by boat place was closed too. Some of the bathrooms didn’t have locks.. ##### Raju T. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly M.

However, he grew up in Madison Heights and wanted to be buried there. The accommodations were awesome. I liked that it had 3 separate suites for each family. This was really important for me, because it gave me a chance to get away and grieve. The location was beautiful and close to where I needed to be. I am so thankful this place was available. It fit my family's need perfectly. It helped make a terrible week for me more bearable. My only suggestion would be to update how the internet is done, especially if you have a lot of people staying. This place gave me a haven to come back to after very emotionally trying days. Kelly Mays ##### Kelly M. Stayed 7 nights in May 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kamryn O.

We had 5 kids with us and we got this house for the playground,the river, and the awning. However the playground had a swarm of bees. I contacted the property manager some guy came by “to get rid of them” however it didn’t really work. Next the river had so much debris we couldn’t safely get in it. Which they couldn’t control. However the awning with the lights we tried to use the speakers to give the kids a dance party at night and it didn’t work. ##### Kamryn O.

Jan 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing stay Staying at this river house again was a treat! We enjoyed all of the new amenities that were added! The hot tub at night was amazing. Looking up at the stars and enjoying the relaxation. There’s a fire pit outside to enjoy with company. A beautiful two seat swing with a built in table in between under the train trestles. There’s a volleyball net as well and a boat ramp. We didn’t have a boat to use but there is a way to rent those as well as kayaks. All in all a great place, definitely will be coming back...AGAIN. Feels great on the chilly seasons but even more amazing in the warmth. ##### ZYGMUNT K. Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael M.

Place is super clean and the hostess went out of her way to accommodate my last minute schedule changes. Place is very well equipped for a big crowd. This is clearly the place to go with a big family gathering. Will have to come back in the summer to enjoy the warmer weather and the watersports. ##### Michael M.

There was a pool table that we enjoyed. It had a place on the river to launch the kayaks that we brought and had a floating dock to fish from. Some enjoyed the hot tub that was available. It was a great place to stay and look forward to doing it again and have recommended it to friends. ##### Sharon D. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle K.

The house was aesthetically pleasing, had a great jacuzzi, and very tidy. The river was great for canoeing and fishing. Overall the scenery of the land and even the train made for a vacation that we will never forget. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [The Omni Homestead Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Hot-Springs-Hotels-The-Omni-Homestead-Resort-Spa.h38297.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Lorton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Lorton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Lorton.h43057.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky OH](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandusky-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Sandusky-OH.h1183594.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake ](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton McLean Tysons Corner](https://www.expedia.ca/McLean-Hotels-Hilton-McLean-Tysons-Corner.h7482.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Whispering Pines by Hotel O Whitestone VA](https://www.expedia.ca/White-Stone-Hotels-The-Whispering-Pines-Motel-Whitestone.h3907766.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express and Suites Wytheville by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Wytheville-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Wytheville.h4954449.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information)
