NOT what I expected
I reserved this property because a) the Guest Reviews were unanimously very positive and b) because I needed ten separate bedrooms for ten co-workers in town for a business offsite. The reality is that the two buildings and the configuration of the rooms is very choppy and not nearly close to one another in terms of comfort or atmosphere. One of the bedrooms is only accessible by walking through another bedroom. Others appear to originally be closets that have been poorly repurposed. The "Cottage" is musty and was unacceptable for my colleagues with sensitive respiratory issues. The basement bedroom in the "Luxe" is more bomb shelter than bedroom. In the end, I felt the need to offer to any of my colleagues to leave and stay down the road at the Courtyard Marriott. Also, this is not a new or property or "high-end" experience by any measure. I was sadly and significantly disappointed with this property.

Wonderful week long family reunion
Will stay here again! This property has everything! Great pool, hot tub, fire pit, kayaks, beautiful river view, balls, corn hole, grills, linens, great kitchens, pool table, ping pong, yoga mats, exercise bike, tread mill, screened in porch, outside porch swing, and a giant Adirondack chair that was great for the family photo! 17 of us spent a week here for a family reunion and only basically left for food shopping. The property is amazing and the owner is responsive to any questions. We will be back again for the next reunion!

Amazing private property
We had such a wonderful surprise at this property, the views, the pool and the homes were so wonderful. We did not realize it was so private and so much land was part of this property. It was perfect for our family and we did not want to leave. We could kayak each day then swim and play volleyball. We would definitely come back.

Perfect for a large group with kids
This met our needs for a large group gathering with lots of young kids. Loved the amount of games and activities available for everyone. We found the house well stocked with basics and feel it was even better than expected. Wish the dock were safer - seems treacherous even for adults. But there’s plenty to appreciate aside from that.

Beautiful house and great location
This house was amazing. There was plenty of room and bedrooms for our group. It was secluded and quiet on the river. Our host was so great and had timely responses. I would highly recommend this rental!

Perfect weekend getaway
Great experience. Everyone enjoyed the stay. The house was cleaned and updated. Thank you for thinking about the little things like the pool table, the ping pong table… There was something for everyone to do.

Fabulous experience!
This property is truly amazing. So many fun things to do - horseshoes, ping pong, pool table, hot tub, fire pit - the list goes on. We hosted a small gathering after a family funeral, and the property provided beautiful open spaces outside as well as a perfect inside gathering space with a well-stocked kitchen. Three families with members ranging from 6 - 75 years old stayed at the house, and the accommodations were great for all ages. The property was clean, the host was responsive, and we look forward to coming back!
