6/10 Okay

Dan B.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
House was very unique and had all of the amenities you could want. The location on the river was great except for 2 features - the train that goes by nearly every 10-15min is quite noisey and can be heard within the house; the other item was that there were at least 5 30lb carp that had just been thrown in the treeline and were rotting. The smell was absolutely awful and stunk up the whole neighborhood. Otherwise the house and stay was great.

Spacious living with beautiful views

Plenty of room for our weekend getaway with two families - more than enough space, beautiful view of the river, and a fun game room with pool and ping pong. Definitely would stay there again!
