BEWARE!

This property has INSIDE cameras! We noticed it on the enclosed porch which has a window directly under it that shows the bathroom area. When the owner was asked about it they stated “it’s not on when guests are there” how are we supposed to believe that! It’s creepy and gross! The neighborhood is a bit rough, the neighbors across the street were out until 1am playing loud music and partying

A new favorite rental

The house was clean, cozy, and comfortable. The downstairs area was the perfect size for me and my husband. We enjoyed the multiple options for sitting and watching the river (enclosed back porch, or back yard). Good birding, too. The neighborhood is quiet and we enjoyed walking across the nearby bridge to the greenway trail on the other side of the river. We hope to stay again next time we visit the area!

Comfortable, charming home

I loved all of the touches in the home. It's got a lot of vintage charm with all of the comforts of home. The snacks and waters left by the owner were such a nice, welcoming touch. The owner was super quick to answer my questions. The river outside was really nice to sit by. I wish we would have had just a little more time there so we could have enjoyed the firepit but all in all a great place to stay.

Nature in the suburbs

We really enjoyed being able to see the river & ducks & geese from this rental. In the morning we woke up hearing red winged blackbirds singing and mallards quacking. Being on a dead end street is a bonus, unless you like traffic. Unless we missed it in the rental description, you may want to inform people about the steep, slippery stairs to upper beds. We did fine but a second hand rail may be helpful. We really enjoyed this rental & hope to return next spring.

Quaint, cute house, great review view

While visiting grandparents during Thanksgiving week, needed a place to sleep and this was just great for us. Cute little house as shown in photos and as listed, with eclectic and whimsical decor, plenty of beds and well stocked kitchen. Host Luci is very kind, communicative and accommodating. We loved watching the wildlife on the river each morning from the living room and also from the Sun room that has a separate space heater. Too cold this time but I can imagine kayaking in the summer months.
