Clean rooms, amazing property, close to the areas we were visiting. We will come back next year. Only recommendation and if I missed it I apologize but a big push broom to clear off the steps, patio and hot tub area. We tried our best to keep the home clean and leaves, debris out of the hot tub but a garage style push broom would hwv helped. Again if I missed it my bad. Can't wait to come back next year!!!

The property is good but not well maintained. Super dusty, ants everywhere along with cobwebs as soon as you enter. Would not recommend or come back.

We are sorry that we did not get the 5 star experience that this house has kept for the last years we have had it. The house gets cleaned right after renters depart along with getting checked by an inspector. As for the cobwebs they can be built over night and ants are something that any house can occasionally get when it rains heavily. Again this house is a 5 star house and we are sorry that it did not meet your expectations.
Thanks,
Stace

This property was very beautiful, comfortable and well-appointed for our family Thanksgiving. Many thoughtful touches made it even better, like a turkey roasting pan and baster waiting on the countertop. Everything was just perfect. Many family members said it was the best house we've ever rented. Thank you, Wright family, for many happy family memories to cherish!

Beautiful setting. The home was very relaxing with lots of seating areas to read. Loved the way the early morning sun filtered through the living room windows. The home had everything we needed to enjoy our short get away. We would reserve again when coming back to the River.

A quaint, cute, well decorated property. The hot tub and yoga studio were a big bonus, and well utilized. The bedrooms were a little small (no room for suitcases) and the beds were a little hard for our taste, but overall it was a wonderful property.

Everything about this rental was charming, and our tween loved having the casita to themselves for independence. We saw California quails hanging out in the little courtyard, and lots of hummingbirds. It was really nice having the dedicated off-street parking spot too. We had some plumbing issues (a major leak) in the kitchen and prop mgr was responsive and timely to address, though we were left with a mess to clean up. We'd definitely stay here again nevertheless. Quiet and relaxing.

My family of 5 (3 young kids) and I stayed here for Xmas weekend and it was a great getaway. We had everything we needed, were comfortable and loved the quiet serene neighborhood setting in the woods near the river. There were a couple small things that needed improving but overall a great rental, even with a hot tub and separated guest house that my kids enjoyed. We would come back!

We absolutely loved this property! The kitchen has everything you need to make great meals. The black out shades in the bedrooms are wonderful. We slept so well! Everything in the house is in perfect working order. Pac Man and ping pong were fun. Love the jacuzzi and outdoor seating area. We would 100% stay here again!

The house is adorable! We came in March for a quick getaway for my husband’s bday. We brought our 2 year old and Doodle. Although the sun was out it was a bit chilly to sit outside but the camellia tree was stunning and the yoga room was a cute addition. We only used the main house but there is an entirely separate casita where you could probably fit another small family. FYI you have to drive to downtown.
