Great overall
We enjoyed the house and location as it was a perfect fit for all of us! The only thing I will mention is the hole in the ceiling in the master bedroom. I believe there was a leak, but now it is covered by plastic and there is a musty smell. We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Family Memories
This house is everything you see and more. It was the perfect setup for our kids and their cousins to have a memorable family trip. The house is stocked with video games, train sets, legos, books, bunk beds, cozy coupes and more that the kids enjoyed. The adults enjoyed the stocked kitchen, on-site hot tub, views of the river and easy access to the pool and tennis courts. This home gets our highest review, and we are already planning our return visit.
