    It was in a quiet, rural area but with walking and biking areas in and around the complex.

    The house is beautiful and has great views of the river. We enjoyed the enclosed porch.

    Property states that it sleeps 4, but really only 1 king and smaller Murphy bed accommodate 3 comfortably. A sleeper sofa would make it more amenable to 4 guests, also, shower drain was slow and water built up during the shower. Management/cleaning company should be checking these things, otherwise really nice.

    Very relaxing with gorgeous scenery! The house was beautiful. The smart house aspect was a little daunting as we don’t have that at home but we figured it out. Otherwise it was lovely. Close to hiking!
