Communications with the Host were very easy and timely.The property and setting are wonderful. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would expect and more. The relaxing 6 minute tram ride down to the beach area was wonderful except for anyone who doesn’t like heights. ;-) The views of the river and the Stillwater Bridge, especially at night, were mesmerizing.The county road right outside the front yard is used a lot, but the great insulation in the house makes the traffic noise non-noticeable. The second you close the front door you don’t hear the traffic at all. Overall, a lovely place to stay.

Thank you for the lovely review! We’re glad the home’s setting, well-stocked kitchen, river views, and tram ride made for a relaxing stay—and that the insulation kept the road noise from interrupting your time inside. We’d be happy to welcome you back!

We really enjoyed the property itself—it fit our large group well, had plenty of beds, beautiful waterfront views, and a great location. We especially loved having Big Guys BBQ down the road!That said, the stay was more challenging than expected, mostly due to management and upkeep. For three nights, we were given only one roll of kitchen towels and ran out of toilet paper, with no extras available. We were told we would need to purchase more ourselves. The floors were dirty with spiders, and several pillows were heavily stained. Parking was also difficult. Future guests - plan to bring extra essentials.Access was another challenge. There was only one key for our group of 11, the doors were not code-locked, and they were not especially easy to operate.Most importantly, communication with management was slow, with response times sometimes reaching 3 or 4 hours. They did eventually provide support, but it wasn't especially timely or convenient.Overall, we loved the space, waterfront, and location. With more attention to cleanliness, stocking basic supplies, easier entry access, and more responsive - ideally local -management, this could be a great stay.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad the space, waterfront views, and location worked well for your group, but we’re sorry that cleanliness, supplies, parking, and access made the stay more difficult than it should have been. We also apologize for the delays in communication. We’ll review these concerns with our team and look at how we can improve the arrival experience and ensure the home is better prepared for future stays.
