We had a great time visiting family at the River Nook. We had fun cooking family dinners together. The gas fireplace made it really cozy. Will definitely rent the River Nook again
The house was beautiful and clean. The house had everything we needed. The family absolutely loved
the fireplace. I would definitely book this home again!
The property was fun. All of the beds were super comfortable, and had nice, soft, and stylish linens. The soaps, shampoo, and conditioner provided were lovely. The fridge had a few condiments in it, and the coffee bar was well stocked. Everything was as expected based on the listing. The hosts were available for any issues that arrived. We had none. The back room with a TV, lots of windows, games, and a piano was our favorite room! We had wet and windy weather. It was nice to enjoy a fire, and be inside while looking outside. When it was not raining, we enjoyed the swings, and skipping rocks at the river. The one nice night, we enjoyed dinner on the patio. We look forward to a future visit, and will recommend it to our friends. We enjoyed the local downtown shops.
This property was very picturesque. The view yo the river behind was lovely. We stayed for a wedding weekend and wish we had more time to enjoy the property. Looks like an ideal place for outdoor activities and fun. Located cloxe to major attractions. Would stay again.
House and property were beautiful. Room to spread out and relax. Would stay here again. Highly recommend. Very clean, host was quick to respind wirh any questions we had.
Wonderful home with beautiful back deck. Home had all amenities needed for our stay. Host was always available for questions. Plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. Extremely clean and comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

The property is beautiful and located in a very quiet neighborhood. The property was clean and in good condition with little extras in the kitchen such as a coffee bar with all the amenities. The check in experience for a first timer using Vrbo was a bit frustrating. The code for the front door was not working and had to wait outside for 40 minutes trying to reach the owner. But with that being overall a good trip.
