A week on the river
We chose this because it was dog friendly. We all enjoyed the river view, ducks, & bunnies. The usual amenities were provided but we did not find the beds & furniture very comfortable for relaxing, as older folks. The shower was nice but slippery so we did purchase a tub matt. I realize this is a small older home but all the random things stuffed into kitchen drawers & closets was a turn off. The weather kept us from enjoying the yard. I see no previous reviews have been uploaded so I guess these comments are mainly for the owner. Thx .

Peaceful with great view
Very peaceful and relaxing. Fishing was great! Sit and watch the river flow by with your coffee on the enclosed porch. Nice getaway.
