A Home away from Home

8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1)
"Nice home, basic necessities which is what we were looking for. The property was fairly clean - air vents/heat vents were noticeably dusty. We did wish there were more than 2 extra blankets as it was chilly at night. Also there was only one pillow on one of the beds. Adding nightstands to the bedroom would be nice. Overall, we were happy with our stay. "

Cabin on Wapsi - Waterfront Relaxing Retreat, RV pad & hookups, farm next door

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (8)
"We loved our accommodations! It was the perfect couple's retreat! We enjoyed the convered porch the most! The river area pictured has receded and is no longer visible from the property as pictured, but maybe that's temporary. Even without the water view it was well worth every penny. Alex was a terrific host, we had everything we needed and felt very cared for. "
