Stayed Nov 25, 20251. I prefer to deal directly w/host rather than through Vacasa--didn't realize that was the case when I booked it. 2. Not sure why others say it's so scenic--yes, technically it's on the river but you also see & hear a busy street.3. Had a hiccup getting into the house--back gate lock was too high for me to reach. 4. Had to keep upping the heat to get it warm enough--even though temp read at 65 (what we keep it at home) it was chilly.5. When we arrived back 1st evening after dinner there was s/one sitting outside the gate who didn't move. We kept waiting for him to leave while we sat in the car, eventually he did leave but it unsettled us. The sign about trespassers on the house didn't help give us confidence.6. House was spacious & comfortable otherwise

Stayed Oct 24, 2025We really enjoyed our stay at this historic home. The house is much larger than it appears in the photos with the master bedroom tucked in the back of the house with a deck overlooking the creek. The location allows you to explore all Main Street has to offer but we also enjoyed the Frog level area just outside our door!

Stayed Aug 14, 2025Fantastic location, comfortable beds and a great family room where we were able to play cards and Yahtzee in the evenings after some intense golf matches with my son and my nephew. I would definitely stay here again.

Stayed Jun 27, 2025We had a great time in this perfect little spot. The rushing water offered a nice spot to sit on the deck and read. Within walking distance to Main Street and plenty of places to shop and eat.

Stayed Apr 30, 2025The charming cottage was cozy and comfortable! We didn't mind that the kitchen had no built in oven /rangetop because there were so many terrific restaurants in walking distance we wanted to try. The countertop microwave & oven were sufficient for our minimal cooking. Our only issue was a malfunctioning dryer - the mgmt responded quickly to our report of and attempted to fix it twice but its probably in need of replacement. Despite that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
