Cute house. Conveniently located to restaurants and grocery stores. The river not too far away either! Comfy beds with lots of space. We had a nice short visit! We hope to be back:)

Nice place!
Very nice clean and comfortable place, Stacy was very helpful! Definitely recommend.
Our objective in staying was to kayak the Rainbow River. We were lucky. The weather cooperated! We had a comfortable and fun place to stay. Everything was adequate for our family; 4 of us. The layout of the house was great; plenty of room for all.
The property is well equipped and is just as described. It is comfortable and in a great location. We enjoyed the antique shops and restaurants within the easily walkable neighborhood. We would like to stay here again when we return to the area.
We had a wonderful time. Felt comfortable lounging. Location is within walking distance to good restaurants and Grumbles garden center. Overall great stay.

Wonderful home!
It was the perfect location, close to all the downtown antique and thrift stores and close to the river. It has an awesome backyard where you can grill and use the firepit. 10/10!
This property was beautiful and all that was listed plus more. The location was perfect the boat ramp access was only like 2 blocks away with access to rainbow river. We will definitely be back.
