After COVID cancelled our in person workshop, we rented this house to both complete our business project but also to reconnect and see each other again. The deck over looking the water was the perfect place to take 10 minute breaks during the day and relax with friends in the evenings. Would definitely rent again!
We had a memorable family get together at the Riverside house. The house is in a great location on the river and is very well maintained with lots of amenities.
The owners are very meticulous and made us feel uncomfortable at times because they were very admonishing from the get-go and seemed to freak out over minor events. To be fair it does not seem like they do rentals of this home regularly and seem to resent having people in this house. We were accused of denting a refrigerator that was already dented prior to our arrival and taking a pillow that was later found and we tired quickly for being yelled at for minucia. Nevertheless we had a wonderful week. We have many great memories but would rather stay in homes where people are more relaxed and we have never had a negative review.
We had a wonderful week on the river! The house was clean, well stocked and a great location. We were able to walk or bike to the beach and Main Street "Harbour Town" for coffee, lunch, dinner and drinks. We enjoyed kayaking on the river too! The outside deck was our favorite part of the house to hangout with our group of 10 family members. Thank you for a wonderful vacation in Vermilion , Ohio!
