The house is OK however I would not recommend it for people with small children or older adults as there are many steps and different levels to the house which are trip hazards. However, the location was very nice right on the river.

Our stay was mid July 2024. Overall, it was a large and spacious house, but a couple of the bedrooms were very small. The layout is very unique and lucky it worked for our group. Only one bedroom on the main floor (still some steps to navigate) and the rest are upstairs. Several other previous reviews mention safety concerns & they weren't wrong. Handrails in the wrong place or non existent. One family member was headed out the front door from the dining room and slipped on the tile and fell down 2 steps VERY hard. There was no handrail. While I understand that it's not listed as "handicap accessible" there are still city codes that must be met. Another danger spot was the first step off the concrete landing onto the driveway. The railing doesn’t extend that far and that step is higher, so it's a bit tricky to navigate, especially for older folks. The river view and sunporch were great, but bring LOTS of bug spray if you want to be outdoors. No dishwasher, so that was a real bummer to discover. I just assumed it had one & that was my fault for not reading the description closer. The description says there is a hot tub, but what I think they meant was the bathroom has a jetted tub, and it's small. The house was generally clean, but I did notice several issues which I addressed directly with the owner & I received a prompt and polite response. All communication with the ower was good before & during the trip. Overall it was a good stay with a few minor issues.

There were 7 of us which stayed 4 nights here. We all loved where this home is located, the large dining room, bedroom on lower floor and especially the enclosed room off the back of house which faced the river! (We all spent a lot of time in this room) There were a few safety issues which concerned us! At the top of stairs to bedrooms/media room there is a small landing which has a door when open blocks the hand railing for first couple feet! (Perhaps put a railing on both sides of door or door should open opposite of what it does) Bathroom on lower floor had a tub/shower but no hand holds for getting in/out for us "older generation" this was a huge safety concern! I do want to say again that even with these concerns we al LOVED staying here together!

I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. I travel all over the united states this time of year for college wrestling. I have never rented a house before. I am now sad that I didn't choose this option before. The house did not disappoint.. Everything in the house looks almost brand new. From the flooring to the bedding. The house was nicely equipped with everything that you need. It had an awesome view. We had two minor issues with working the fireplace and the projector tv. The house host Mitchell, responded quickly. They were not broken we just couldn't understand how to use them. It is on a dead end road. It was very quiet and we all had wonderful nights of sleep.
