Best vacation I could have ever planned. The house was immaculate and super clean. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Parking was very sufficient with room to back out and turn to leave out of the driveway from the back. And the view, was a million dollar view. So awesome . Highly recommend so you do not miss your boat. Love it, Love it, Love it.

Lovely trip to the river.

Had a wonderful stay here. The house was very nice and clean. I was able to get my boat in the driveway and went fishing a few times. Mom loved the front windows of the house and the tremendous view of the river - and she loves watching the freighters.Will consider booking a longer stay next year!
