The location was excellent! We enjoyed the kayaks & sitting on the great deck. The guys enjoyed fishing off the deck as well. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of seating for meals & playing games. The living room area had plenty of seating as well. It could use some updating & a deep cleaning but if you mostly looking for a great area for outdoor activities, this is a great place.

Beautiful location. We really enjoyed kayaking, jumping off the upper deck, eating smores by the fire, fishing and playing on the tubs. It's a very peacefully place. Restaurants and Walmart is very close.

Location is fantastic & just what we wanted. It was very quiet as we were closer to the end of the river. A quick jump in with floats near Swampy's amounts to about an 1 hour float back to the house.

This was our 2nd year visiting the rainbow river area and this time we decided to stay a few days instead of a day trip. While we had a great time on the river and enjoyed the local restaurants, unfortunately the house was far from our expectations for what we were charged. The house while being in an excellent location with an awesome dock, lacked cleanliness. The house was dusty, cob webs in a lot of the corners at the ceilings, the oven was very dirty, and the dishwasher was mistakenly opened and stunk up the house for hours and so many bugs were killed inside the house. Unfortunately we left and forfeit a day because we didn’t want to stay another day because of all the reasons above. We understand the host does not live in the house year round so the cleaners are not doing their jobs in maintaining house. If it weren’t for the above complaints, we would have had a great vacation. Hope the issues are resolved because this is a great location.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing this feedback. We’re truly sorry that the home’s cleanliness and condition fell short of expectations and affected your stay enough that you chose to leave early. That is not the experience we want for our guests. We have shared your comments regarding the dust, cobwebs, oven, dishwasher odor, and insect concerns with the appropriate team so these items can be thoroughly addressed. The home’s riverfront location and dock should be a highlight of a relaxing Rainbow River getaway—not overshadowed by avoidable housekeeping issues. We appreciate you recognizing the home’s location and potential, and we sincerely regret that these concerns took away from what should have been a wonderful vacation.

This was our best vacation ever!! What a blessing for G&C to share their wonderful home for families like ours to enjoy. Plenty of room for everyone plus we got to bring our dogs--yay!! The privacy of the location and the double deck made this a dream vacation for all of our young and young adult children. We will definitely be back to this spot!
