RELAXING DOWNTIME FOR THE BIG E

Rather than stay in a hotel during THE BIG E, we opted to rent this little gem, which allowed us to just relax along the water, sit by the firepit, read a book on the deck, even drop a fishing in the river at the properties edge. Thank you for letting us stay in your home, It was perfect.

Lovely little spot

We stayed at this adorable house while in town for a funeral. It was so clean!!!!! The house is decorated adorably and everything was very clean and organized. It is close to the train but we had zero problems sleeping as it comes by so fast and only a few cars. The view and deck by the river was so lovely! I wish we could have used fire pit but it was raining. A lovely spot!

Nice

The house was very nice and clean. Beautiful view of the river. If you are planning on cooking make sure you pick up your pantry items( oil, cooking spray) a bag of ice. It is a very private yard, which we loved. A nice little gem. 😊

Peaceful Retreat

The property was lovely. The house was adorable when you walk inside. The view of the river was amazing. The house had everything you need for a short getaway. The only recommendation is to add that the train tracks are right by the house. We got in late and it was dark the first night. I woke up in the middle of the night thinking a truck was coming through the wall.

Incredible find

Very clean, everything you need is there. Easy to feel at home. The view of the river was breath taking. The train tracks in front of home was a new thing for us, but not nucence. The area once on the street was ok. Small tunnel to drive thru, neighborhood looks as if the are cleaning it up. Every store we needed was with in a few miles. Definitely will book again and tell family. Thank you

My husband and I spent two nights at Hilda’s Riverside Resort with my sister and brother-in-law. The cottage was decorated beautifully. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed for our morning coffee and for preparing food. The back yard was very spacious, with a deck that had a grill, table, and chairs, and then another “deck-type” area down by the river. There was also a fire pit, and a nice supply of wood. There were two shopping centers nearby, and plenty of places to eat. There is a train nearby that passes by a few times throughout the day and night, but you barely even notice it. If we are ever in the area again, we will stay here.

Nicely decorated but not as quiet as expected

The setting on the river was a welcome sight as was the nicely decorated home and the personalized welcome sign when we arrived. What was surprising to see was the proximity to the Amtrak train tracks and the frequency of the train traffic. This was not mentioned in the description of the property and created an unexpected racket throughout our stay. Additionally the microwave breaker had to be reset, the hot water in the upstairs shower did not work (though the homeowner offered to send someone to address) and the coffee maker needed a thorough cleaning. Again, the owner was responsive and this is a nicely decorated property with a few flaws that need resolution, along with a more accurate description of the train track proximity. If these issues weren’t present we would have likely given it a 5 star rating.

This was a fantastic location for a two-night stay. The house itself was welcoming and beautiful. The images don't do it enough justice. It's situated right on the river, which was stunning, yet near any amenities you could want. We will return!
