Quiet location, peaceful stay
We enjoyed our stay! Very limited dining options nearby, but the “pub” across the bridge has surprisingly good food! Service was friendly too! Having the dollar store in walking distance was nice. Nice location central to all the hiking and activities we planned! I loved having my coffee outside watching the river. Other than the food options, only negative is thin wall between the bedroom and the next unit, if you’re a light sleeper.

Perfect place to stay for local family reunion. No sheets and towels make it challenging since we drive from Northern Virginia.

Worst VRBO experience EVER
Hiding a bring your own bedding and towels little sentence in middle of huge description is deceptive. To get a reminder to bring a sheet for a pet but not remind me that BTW there are no pillows sheets towels or blankets is BS. Prop Mgr communication is terrible. Cost me addl $145 at family dollar for blankets and towels.

Great experience!
I had a great vacation with my two children ages 5 and 7. We enjoyed the river, and had a blast. The large outdoor fire pits were nice, and were a great spot for stargazing. Also, having the Family Dollar and the country store so close by was great.
