It's a funky little place, but it suited our purposes. First challenge is finding the place (the front door is by a parking lot behind a pizza joint (didn't try the pizza), and it backs up on to the river. There are several other industrial looking dwellings there, but we never saw any other neighbors (it's private). There is a slightly steep but doable path to a picnic table by the river, that's lit up at night. The place definitely has an industrial feel to it. Theres not a lot of bells and whistles. There is an outdoor covered area near the back of the house to sit/eat outside. Interestingly, one bedroom is really nicely furnished and seems like a spa, the other bedroom is more of a bed thrown into a small room. Beds were fine, water was hot, places to sit. My only real complaint is how dark the bathrooms are, made it hard to put in my contacts. We were there during the fires, so we spent a LOT of time indoors and we kept ourselves entertained. Would recommend.
