A new favorite rental
The house was clean, cozy, and comfortable. The downstairs area was the perfect size for me and my husband. We enjoyed the multiple options for sitting and watching the river (enclosed back porch, or back yard). Good birding, too. The neighborhood is quiet and we enjoyed walking across the nearby bridge to the greenway trail on the other side of the river. We hope to stay again next time we visit the area!

Comfortable, charming home
I loved all of the touches in the home. It's got a lot of vintage charm with all of the comforts of home. The snacks and waters left by the owner were such a nice, welcoming touch. The owner was super quick to answer my questions. The river outside was really nice to sit by. I wish we would have had just a little more time there so we could have enjoyed the firepit but all in all a great place to stay.

Nature in the suburbs
We really enjoyed being able to see the river & ducks & geese from this rental. In the morning we woke up hearing red winged blackbirds singing and mallards quacking. Being on a dead end street is a bonus, unless you like traffic. Unless we missed it in the rental description, you may want to inform people about the steep, slippery stairs to upper beds. We did fine but a second hand rail may be helpful. We really enjoyed this rental & hope to return next spring.

Quaint, cute house, great review view
While visiting grandparents during Thanksgiving week, needed a place to sleep and this was just great for us. Cute little house as shown in photos and as listed, with eclectic and whimsical decor, plenty of beds and well stocked kitchen. Host Luci is very kind, communicative and accommodating. We loved watching the wildlife on the river each morning from the living room and also from the Sun room that has a separate space heater. Too cold this time but I can imagine kayaking in the summer months.

Our river front stay
My husband and I really enjoyed this property. It was very clean. The temperature in the house was comfy. It did rain on the Saturday we were there which was a bummer because it was the day we had all the outdoor activities on the river planned, so we did not get to enjoy those options. Maybe we will have to return again to try them out??
