Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We stayed in this nicely remodeled house the month of January. Loved how they preserved some of the original parts of this house. Our stay was pleasant and host were exceptional and responded quickly to questions and needs. It’s a beautiful location by the river that is easy to access for fishing. I give this stay a five star.
