    The house is amazing. Well appointed, great views and wonderful mattresses and pillows in all the rooms. Ryan and the maintenance guy were quick to respond, kind and welcoming. The weather was frightful with ice and snow so we stayed inside. We were there for the funeral of my eldest brother and this home made all the difference during our time of bereavement.

    Beautiful home with beautiful views of the river! The layout was perfect for us and our adult children with them having their own space downstairs, when needed. Host was responsive and communicated in a timely manner.

    Great location. Being on the river was awesome. Very peaceful location and we were able to use our paddle boards quite a bit, which was cool. Beaches, wineries, and restaurants were all close.House was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Beds were comfy. Plenty of pillows and blankets. There was a small issue with credit card charges not coming through correctly but the host was very responsive and got it taken care of very quickly.Would totally recommend / visit again.

    Absolutely loved the place, the quiet, peaceful neighborhood and location. Provided good mix of sun and shade. Only drawbacks - as older people - there are several steps into the home, the living area has a couple of steps, and there are stairs down to the dock. We just want to make sure someonen is aware of it if that is an issue. The listing said a microwave and we couldn't find it. BUT the kitchen is well apportioned and fully stocked. The Frank Lloyd Wright-type design makes it very interesting and it is beautifully decorated.
