The Crash Pad ~ Riverfront Retreat with Gameroom

Great place for kids

Beautiful place, fabulous river view, quiet and peaceful. This was a great place for perfect rest and relaxation!!

Beautiful views and lots of ourdoor space.

My family and I had a great time at the Crash Pad! My young son found the old VW van a fun spot for reading and quiet time alone. We also enjoyed the large outdoor deck and cornhole provided. Our only surprise was the stairs inside the cabin to go up/down to the multiple floors was really a ladder. People with mobility issues (or, in my case, a young child who hasn't conquered ladders yet) will have issues. It also made taking items up/down a bit of a hassle. The host was great, responsive and provided a digital guide about the cabin, local area and other helpful information for our quiet stay. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend!

We loved our stay!! Beautiful sun sets!! Great place for the teenagers to chill! Great place to relax!!

Loved it will come back!

Rain on the tin roof, cozy seating, beautiful views

We really enjoyed the house and the away from it all feel, while still having a house that had clearly been recently renovated and was in excellent shape. I didn't tell my 2 kids anything about it, so when they opened the lower-level entry door into a room with a VW bus, their reaction was priceless. Everything was in good (or great) condition. We might have been a bit nervous with small kids on the ladder-stairs, but ours were fine. My son loved the corn hole setup on the deck, and the views of the river across the bluff were great. It's a grand view from the upstairs balcony/deck, and due to the great weather, we spent a fair amount of time out there lounging. Here are my only gripes about the property/listing: 1 - It is advertised as riverfront and looks as such on the map, but you are actually on a sheer bluff with railroad tracks running at the base. There is no physical way to get down to the water on foot, even though it is not very far away. So you definitely have a water view, but not water access. This would have been fine if it was disclosed on the description, but I basically packed my fishing rods for nothing, since there wasn't a way for me to walk to the water. The gravel road is roughly 1 mile as the crow flies from the paved road (maybe 1.25 miles actual driving?) and is relatively bumpy in places (slow driving). It was just inconvenient enough that I decided I didn't want to drive off to find a spot to fish on my own. There was almost 0 cell phone signal in the area, so I decided not to leave the family behind and completely lose contact. Not a huge deal since it wasn't a fishing trip, but if it was my primary intended activity, I would have been quite irritated at the surprise. Details like this would have come out in the reviews of an older rental, but since this one is pretty new, I was apparently the guinea pig. 2 - Minor issues with the internet and, oddly, the TV sound quality. In both cases, I was able to unplug and reboot the router & TV and the problems resolved themselves. This happened 3 times in 2 days. The internet would have been less of an issue, except that we relied on it entirely due to the almost-zero phone signal. 3 - The master bath shower is pretty non-standard. I'm not very tall, so it was fine, but if you are a 6'+ man you'll have a problem getting your head wet without stooping down pretty low. I'd guess the shower head is 5' high. I'll go back if I don't plan to fish!

Nice property. Convenient location. I wish we could have stayed longer and would love to return.
