Newly renovated, clean, but somewhat small suites with kitchenettes. The hosts were prompt with answers to any questions, and helpful with suggestions. Check in was easy, no hassles. We had fishing clients from Japan stay here who could walk to any of the close by restaurants. I would book here again for sure.

Fabulous family weekend getaway
We stayed here for a quick family R&R and it was perfect, this spot is an absolute gem. The water is so clean and warm, great coffee shop right next door and you can float down the river. The check-in process & communication could use some work but the host said that it was the VRBO platform issue so not much they could do on their end. We will definitely be back here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a clean, well equipped waterfront accommodation!
