Matt is a breath of fresh air. He is charming, responsive, helpful, knows the area, & he & his wife have done an amazing job with this old but beautifully updated property.
THE HOUSE: Cozy w/room for 7 plus seating for guests. Bedrooms are COMFORTABLE. The bathrooms were great, very functional, with enough towels for everyone.
INDOOR FUN: TVs where you needed them with a Blu-Ray player & plenty of movies, Matt & his wife have great taste in movies in my humble opinion. Games for the family, a small selection but good. An eclectic book collection, kids enjoyed Garfield while we all enjoyed The Far Side.
OUTDOOR FUN:A caveat – this is a river so there’s green stuff on the edge. It won’t hurt you. We loved the kayaks. The dock ladder was loose when we were there, but it is probably already fixed– without that ladder, it’s hard to get out of the water. We jumped off the end of the docks, but not too far (fast boats). We chose to go to Peterson Park Beach for the inflatables (bring cash)
HOT TUB: Very pleasant. If you leave the cover off when it’s cool outside, the hot tub will get cool. When you’re not in the water, put the cover back on. Nicely lighted so as to not wreck your night vision.
RESPONSIVENESS: We asked about a DVD/Blu-Ray player night before we arrived. It & movies were there. We asked how to rent boats, we had a list & he bought the two kayaks. When we had a concern or question, he responded, even came during our second day to fix stuff.
Great place to stay & play!
