Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joel 21 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I had to travel for business and invited my wife along to join me. We decided to stay here as an alternative to a less exciting hotel room. I'm so glad we did. The large driveway parking area was easy to get in and out of. As we topped the stairs to the front door we were greeted by a beautiful outdoor space appointed with a fireplace and plenty of firewood (as well as the makings for smores inside!) The keyless entry was super simple and less of a hassle than having to get a key someplace. The interior was simple but elegant and felt very comfy from the moment we arrived. The bathroom shower was huge and the bed was comfortable. Our only complaint was that we had given ourselves too little daylight to explore along the river! Derryn was fantastic and answered all of my questions very quickly. Such a great host. We hope to be back soon! ##### Joel Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antje K. 26 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Cute and efficient house to stay.
