It is very well appointed and great property to relax with friends. The small downtown and local distillery with amazing food and drink is within a short walk. The swim spa is great, even if you can't figure out the controls. The layout and details of the spaces are interesting yet groovy. The coffee bar was an unexpected treat. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a house with character and that loves amazing bathrooms. One note...there are cameras on many of the exterior areas of the house which is not in the listing. If you have young kids that you don't want on camera, this is something to consider. ![relaxing view for your morning coffee or soak](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0d88df61-9209-4610-8d81-6e9b40701e7b-1755050425337.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![coffee anyone?](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d518632f-6ef9-4995-8e13-0304569fbb33-1755050425236.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Love the portraits](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/98206eb4-20ca-4e35-a585-792e417af763-1755050425185.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![downstairs bathroom](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/41ee4a5c-fd55-4ead-b9bd-ec9a920c5f61-1755050425236.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Darin S. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Staci S. 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Awesome home! This property is clearly loved and taken care of. From the bamboo mattress covers to the high quality pool towels to the massive 3ft x 3ft oven- this property is stunning. Not a speck of dust anywhere. Meticulously washed bed sheets and comforters. Plenty of outdoor, brand new seating. The bathrooms are all recently renovated and updated. Our host, Tina, was an excellent communicator. The dipping pool was a comfortable 91 degrees. The outdoor space is so serene on the River. We had so much space, everyone had their own bed. The windows are all new and have perfect screens so you can open the windows without bugs getting inside and enjoy the breeze off the water while cooking or watching the expansive TV.10 min to the airport and 20 min to our daughter at Syracuse University. We will definitely be back! ##### Staci S. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Zulema B. 30 Nov 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy The hosts were very responsive but the house was not quite as described. The heat in living room area did not work and neither did the fire place. The house really seemed to be under renovation and not ready for guest. There were carbon monoxide and fire detectors packages open in several rooms but not installed. If we did cook the stove did not have an exhaust. There were thermostats throughout the house but not sure if they worked. And the master bedroom porch was under renovation as well.The bathrooms are beautiful and provided excellent water pressure. I think this house could be nicer during the summer and after all renovations all complete and everything is functional as stated in description. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4f9cb837-9ad5-4bfb-8117-b13eab948606-1764546216442.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4c1fc7cd-4a23-4ab9-be41-06ee963b299a-1764546223428.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Zulema B.
