Our stay at Fernweh on River Road was hands down the best vacation rental experience we’ve ever had! The host, Anessa, set the standard for what exceptional hospitality should look like. With the flooding in the surrounding areas, she communicated with us throughout our entire trip, providing timely updates and making sure we could arrive safely and confidently. That level of care gave us so much peace of mind.Everything was incredibly well thought out. There were clear instructions for absolutely everything, making our stay completely stress-free. The property itself was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and stocked with amazing amenities. We loved having access to the pool, pickleball courts, and basketball court, and the location couldn’t have been better. Being within walking distance of the Tan Turtle made everything so convenient.From start to finish, this was truly the best stay we’ve ever had across any vacation rental platform\. If you’re looking for a high quality, worry free getaway with an outstanding host, Fernweh on River Road is the place to book. We can’t wait to come back!
