9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (72)
"This was an outstanding trip! The house is in a great location outside of town and a short walk to the river. The living room and dining areas are roomy and comfortable and the beds were fantastic. The house is clean and the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. Plenty of outdoor seating to spend time talking and listening to the wind through the trees. "
