Check-in instructions were great. The home is so cute and decorated beautifully. You can see the river from the deck and there are plenty of black squirrels in the back lot. We enjoyed our stay.

The house is on a very busy road with lots of big trucks driving by and shaking the house. The outside and inside were not very clean. Lots of cobwebs, dust, dirty shower curtain, sticky floors. There was no view of the Mississippi River and it was in a very run down part of the town. The house was cute inside.
