Great location, wonderful view, and much to enjoy at the home.
We loved our stay. The view was wonderful! We enjoyed the sunset every evening. There was a pool table, many games, sauna, and much to enjoy at the home.
House was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Owner was super responsive to questions. He definitely has a flair hospitality. Property has beautiful riverfront views.
Rented for our 7th Anniversary, and could not have been happier. Unique property with tons of amenities, fun things to do, amazing view, and impeccably clean. Host was great with communication.

So happy you had a wonderful time. You are always welcome back and thank you again for choosing the Captain's Quarters for your special occasion.
Our group came to town for a baseball tournament and stayed here to relax. This was an amazing house with lots of activities inside and outside. The host was very tentative to details and very responsive.
This is easily in my top three of all-time nicest places I have rented. I wish our project had been two weeks long! What a great house! Spectacular sunsets every night! A firepit, kayaks, hot tub, and a very spacious home! I can't say enough about how much we all enjoyed this place!
We enjoyed the beautiful views from the beautiful home.
Stay was fantastic.
High end and thoughtful touches from the owner.
Shampoo, hand soaps , coffee, night crawlers , popcorn.
We will be coming back again and again.

Thank you for your kind words and we look forward to hosting your family again at the Captain's Quarters.
What can I say. Would definitely stay again. This was an amazing place to stay. Everything you need is here. Owners provided thoughtful touches throughout and setup for arrival. Beautiful views and outdoor space to hang out. I don’t believe we even turned on the tv. Only concern I would mention is if you have littles or pets, bring a free standing safety gate for the spiral stairs.
We absolutely loved this property. Alex was so easy to work with and very prompt with his replies. He had everything (and more) that we needed down to small details like coffee for the Keurig, firewood for the firepit and fireplace, and all the tools and supplies for the grill, Blackstone and smoker. I've been to places that have similar amenities but usually have to end up bringing or buying some things that we need. Not here - it was all provided!
Also he was very accommodating and we were able to check in earlier to help us unload before we headed out that first day.
The property was so quiet and peaceful. When we were there we spent a lot of time just sitting on the patio looking over the river and enjoying the outdoors.
Inside there was no shortage of things to do as well. Would hands down stay here again without hesitation. Such a wonderful place!
