Great location
The house is great and is in a great location, but needs a little attention / updating. Besides our challenges we made the best of it and had a great time. The manager was very responsive and accommodating.

This is the 2nd year we have stayed here for HOA. The house is old but has a story and i like that. There is plenty of room for the whole group to have our own space. The kitchen has everything we needed to cook our own meals. The view of the river is nice. We love the driveway to the house. Its filled with cows and lots of wildlife. Never know what you will see. Town isnt to far away. Overall this is a nice place to stay for our little get away. We enjoyed it. On the downside like last year the tub in the upstairs master bath does not drain properly so your standing in ankle deep water as you shower. The 2nd bedroom down the hall had an infestation of bugs on the window that somehow found their way into the room. Again like last time the grill was filthy so my husband spent time cleaning it so the next people can enjoy it on the deck. There was also a cast iron skillet that wasnt properly cleaned so we had to work on that to be able to enjoy our eggs.

Rustic
Beautiful view of water. Felt secluded from neighbors which we enjoyed. Plenty of rooms and space for family. Loved large kitchen and blackstone. Justin was responsive to concerns/questions. Negatives: old AC units/musty, both showers upstairs had trouble draining, coffee pot very slow. House definitely could use some updates but being right on the river and the views definitely outweighed any negatives.

Relaxing Girls Weekend
Well stocked pantry, lots of toys for the river available for use. The river was a big low so the water wasn't moving much. Bathrooms were upgraded recently and clean. Some of the beds could use new mattresses. The firepit was excellent and firewood was available for use. The kitchen had all kinds of gadgets and serving ware. Had wifi and cell service. Beautiful hardwood floors upstairs. We met the manager while he was getting an estimate to redo the dock and clear out the view to the river, would like to see the transformation when it is complete.

Long weekend get-away
The house is as described. The kitchen is stocked very well. Lots of towels and bed linens. The upstairs rooms have window unit air conditioners, which worked very well. The basement rooms don't have air conditioners, but it was cool down there since it's a basement, and there were plenty of fans. Plenty of life vests, inner tubes, and floating mats. There is a neighborhood boat ramp down the street where we put the kayaks in the river. However, the ramp has a chain with a lock, so a boat can't be entered there. We liked that there is a gate at the top of the steps inside the house and outside on the decks. The boat dock is not level and very warped on the one side. Also, be aware that there is poison ivy everywhere there isn't grass, even creeping onto the steps going down to the dock. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. We had pretty much everything we needed. We had fun playing ping pong, kayaking, fishing, and just relaxing.

Memorial Day Weekend
We enjoyed our stay at the river house. We were pleasantly surprised by all the cookware, kitchen gadgets and well stocked "pantry". We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings and spent a relaxing Sunday watching the Indy 500 and painting porch leaners on the back deck. Was a nice relaxing weekend.

Golf Trip
We used the house as a base for a long weekend of golfing, and with its location on the river it was great for our group of guys! Wish we would have planned for more time on the deck and utilizing the river! Great bunkhouse/summer camp feel, and perfect for large groups, can't wait to return with the kids and family!

Perfect Holiday Weekend
This charming old home was a perfect setting for our long-planned Thanksgiving weekend. Family had plenty of room to cook, eat, play, chat and exchange hugs. Two giant dining tables and plenty of chairs. Appreciated two refrigerators. Everyone had a comfortable and private sleeping room. Everything we could have wanted was made available. Lots of dishes, glasses, cups, utensils. Games and cards. Extra blankets and shawls. All the lights worked. Appreciated light in hallway. The home was clean and nicely decorated. Temperature was comfortable. River access a walk away. River view awesome. Although the dirt road entrance was nearly 3 miles long, there were services just beyond. If I could rate this destination at more than perfect, I would. Annette
