We enjoyed our stay overall. The house is nicely updated, exceptionally organized, and everything is clearly labeled, which made it easy to find what we needed. The kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms were well stocked, and there were plenty of games and activities for kids indoors.Our favorite part was the outdoor space, especially the updated fire pit, sand area, hammocks, and swing chairs. We also loved feeding the birds and being surrounded by nature.A couple things to know before booking: we assumed we could swim in the river behind the house, but it’s very rocky and only a few inches deep. We did use the kayaks in the shallow water behind the house, but as beginners we weren’t sure where to launch them for a longer trip. Also, the home has two in-room A/C units rather than central air.Our biggest concern was the backyard. The concrete along the river is severely cracked and buckled, creating hiding places for wildlife. We repeatedly saw snakes coming and going from underneath it, and one slithered across our 7-year-old’s feet while he was standing in the yard. We expected wildlife in this beautiful setting, but not snakes emerging where our kids were playing. Had we known that, we likely would have chosen another property. Families with young children or anyone uncomfortable around snakes should keep this in mind.The dishes and utensils are excellent, but the pots and pans could use a refresh. The rugs could also use a deep cleaning, and more entry rugs would help
