Great View
Easy to find, clean, comfortable and modern, with higher end fixtures, appliances and no scented/perfumed linens! (A plus for me). Kcups and food wrappings are in drawers.
Riverview from the deck was definetly the selling point to the property.
Read a previous review complaining about the driveway and stairs,
they're fine, just be aware and walk slow entering the unit.
It's on a main road so there is city and traffic noise, less noticable
on the back deck, where you can hear crickets and the river at dusk.
For the price we made sure to spend some time in the unit and watched a
movie. TV and sound was theater like and no neighbors to worry about bothering after 6 pm.
Maggie's/1812 is right across the river and great place to eat.
Appreciated the gargoyles...
Nice stay.
The property was clean, updated with a nice view and access to the river. However, there was no restaurant or entertainment walking distance from this location. Bunk bed in second bedroom was wobbly and unsafe.
This property is beautiful! Our host Sarah was super accommodating. Everything about our stay was perfect. The river and back yard are lit up at night and it’s great to sit on the deck and relax. Highly recommend! A host!

Pretty Views
We enjoyed our overnight visit to this property. The view from the deck was lovely. There was plenty of space and the two bedrooms and bathrooms made our stay easy. The pull out sofa bed was also appreciated, as were the water and snacks we enjoyed upon arrival.

Enjoyed the stay but there are some issues
Enjoyed the stay but there are some issues:
Staircase leading to apartment is treacherous including unevenly spaced stair rises.
Courtyard by front door does not drain rainwater sufficiently during downpour resulting in one having to cross 2" deep moat to access the apartment.
I would expect to stay there again hoping they would address these issues.
Excellent location on Black river well lit at night though it would be advantageous to turn off the outside lights at night.
All lighting inside the apartment is modern, bright, high color temperature, and garish. That is not to my liking and detracted from what would be an otherwise comfortable experience.
