    3/5

    I wasn’t going to give a review at all, I was raised if you don’t have anything nice to say then keep to yourself. The owners are next door and I mean next door, they see and watch everything you do. They have stuff in the rental so they are coming in and out all day. And they are watching you the entire time as well as their neighbors across the street. It’s truly unsettling. The house is old, needs lots of upgrades. The kitchen and the cabinets are gross, the bathrooms are even more so. The beds are hard as rocks. The back yard is great lots of area to play corn hole and stuff but you have the owners right there. We never had more then 7 spend the night but she thinks we did bc he knows better then us. If you don’t mind someone in your business 24/7 then signup for this place otherwise I would pass. I have been a customer of Vrbo for years and this is by far the worst experience. To be accused of things that never happened, I mean how could I hide anything they were right there. The house had no issues when we left. I did what was asked…I think someone is just finding a way to keep her security deposit.

    Owners response, "We’ve had years of customers and this is our first uncomfortable experience. The reservation was for 2 adults. if you are looking for a large party house this is not it. it is a quiet residential neighborhood."

  • Relaxing retreat

    5/5

    What a perfect place to disconnect from everything and relax!! The owners are wondering host and neighbors. We're already looking forward to our next visit

    5/5

    The property was beautiful and well cared for. The house was also very well cared for. The area is a very quiet and private place. We would absolutely love to rent this property again just not through Vrbo. They were the only horrible part of the experience. Property however is definitely a five star for my family and I.

    4/5

    Great location Great river view Loved the raised screened-in dock porch. The house could use some updating. I dont have allergies but found house seemed to trigger a runny nose situation while there.

    Owners response, "Our gardens are in full bloom currently and allergens are high in our area. Really no control over that. This house is advertised as what it is, a retro river retreat."
