This was honestly everything we hoped it would be! Beautiful landscape, river access, plenty of space at the Captains Lodge to relax and enjoy yourself or play games with the family. We enjoyed the entire stay! Internet was not great, but also we were fine with unplugging and just enjoying the nature. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys playing in the river and having BBQ and campfires with the comfort of an amazing house to rest your head (:

Beautiful Location

Although the home was a little dated, we had a wonderful time together with plenty of space. The main room was large enough for everyone to be in w/o being crowded. The host responded quickly to any questions we had. I would recommend it to other large groups if you are not looking for new and modern.

Family reunion fun

The property was spacious and had a great view of the river! Sadly the Jacuzzi wasn’t working and the pool sticks were locked up due to a previous guest’s misdeeds. But our family had a great weekend of cooking out, hiking, rafting and antiquing to suit everyone’s tastes. It was a big success!

Just what was needed

It was an amazing property. Secluded and quite just as advertised. The house and furniture are a little dated but for our group it was comfortable, we are not a group of fancy. Plus who cares, get out in nature and out of the house. Pool table and ping pong table were nice. Plenty of room and privacy for all guest. The outdoor setup with the open pedestal grill right next to the fire pit was amazing. We are already planning another trip. The price matched the property, the scenery alone was worth the price. There was no worry of waking neighbors so we could be as aloud as needed. The place was awesome and was just what we needed.

Wonder getaway

Everything was as described. The house is huge and comfortable for 16 people to have their own space. AC worked as it should. It does get colder in the basement but upstairs was cold too. We counted 72 stairs to get down to the river. There are snakes and raccoons so bring a stick with you if youre outside just in case. Any questions or concerns we had were quickly answered by Ben. There is a security deposits to use the pool table. We didnt use the hot tub because we were mostly in the river. Becareful, there alot of slippery rocks.

Gotcha sister reunion

It is a great location, with lots to do inside and out. The game room provided hours of entertainment. Plenty of private spaces for more intimate conversations. The waterfront was phenomenal. The owners were very responsive with questions and concerns, very friendly and helpful. We had 8 families with 8 teenage girls who found lots of things to do! I would recommend for large groups.

Outdated cabin

We had a great time however the VRBO description is not current. The house is very dated, cobwebs in all the corners, water is not easily accessible, the jacuzzi does not work, the air conditioning does not cool the entire house and there aren’t screens in all the windows so we couldn’t even open them to cool the house, the basement bathroom tub has a soft spot that seemed very unsafe.. I think if the house was cleaner and maybe just maintained a little better it would be great.

False advertising

The property is very neglected rotten porches and picnic table as well as stairs to river. Large tree down over stairs younger people had to crawl under and then over to get to river. Older people and children could not go to river because of stair safety and large tree.Said there was pool to play but all sticks and balls locked up. No tv remotes either called property owners and she never returned the call. Rained hard and sky light leaked with the rain.If you want to cook only 2 burners work on the stove. Had to wash pots and pans and cooking utensils before using, they were disgusting. Food left in sink from previous people. Will never rent again understand outdated decor BUT it needs to be MUCH cleaner and taken care of better. Over charging for what you get

Overall the location was good with river access on a great stretch of the river. Be ready for 72 stairs down a very steep hill to get there so not very accessible for elderly and guests with physical limitations. House is old and outdated. Overall clean but listing is misleading. Hot tub was empty upon arrival and appeared very old and non operational. Found bees nests around entrances, some active. Poorly maintained landscaping and exterior which impacted view of the river & use of the lawn near the river. Kitchen was operational but some burners on the stove didn’t work and some outlets not functioning. Size of the home is great with different bedroom choices and sleeping accommodations. Pool table operational but equipment in poor condition and ping pong table and paddles were worn with broken net and damaged paddles. Overall I’d give this house a 6/10. Beautiful scenery made up for the dilapidated state of the house and our family had a great time in the game room. Living rooms are wonderful and fire places would be great during cooler seasons. We would not rent this property again. Way over priced for what you get when you tack on VRBO fees, taxes & fees for number of people totaling over 16 etc.

The place was probably nice at one point. Now it's just old and run-down.

Listing said there are 2 charcoal grills. There was only one, and it was rusted beyond being usable. We ended up having to buy one. House didn't look like it had been cleaned at all. Cobwebs and dust everywhere. Jacuzzi didn't work. When we asked the owner, she admitted she knew the jets didn't work. WiFi didn't work. Zero internet access. Owner blamed us, told us "only one device could use the WiFi at a time", but she couldn't connect to the internet either. Owner showed up at the house unannounced and uninvited, and just hung out in the house for around an hour, even though we kept telling her that we didn't need anything from her. Linens for the beds were left in plastic bags on the beds, and half of them didn't fit on the beds. Everything was just old, rickety, warn, and dirty. Then the owner had the nerve to claim half of our security deposit, for ambiguous claims like "excessive wear on the pool table", and "excessive cleaning" when it appeared the house wasn't cleaned before we arrived. All in all, I wouldn't recommend staying here.
