The rental was very clean! It had plenty of room and was close to everything!
This condo is beautifully decorated and the location is fantastic. The beds were very comfortable. I loved sitting in the rocking chairs on the screened in porch facing the river.

Beautiful condo and location
Super clean, nice design and layout. The fireplace in each room was a treat. Location on river close to all attractions was a bonus. We hope to get this same rental next year.
Location was great, very walkable town. Management was very prompt and helpful with a couple of hiccups we had upon arrival.
