We enjoyed our stay. The house was a good size but kitchen was small. Could use some updating and new carpets. The back deck was nice to sit on and watch the River go by. The neighborhood was quiet and nice for long walks. We loved being able to walk to the golf course.

Wild Life
We saw otters every morning and in the evenings .
To me I’ve seen them few times in different parts of the river but for some reason they love this part of the river especially
Came up a couple feet away looked at me and had no fear at all amazing thing to see in person.

Nice little retreat
We did enjoy staying here but it is not at all handicapped friendly. The dock seemed very dangerous and was sketchy walking to the river, however was better than no dock. One of the bedrooms is under the main part of the house and you can hear everything upstairs. We really enjoyed the quiet retreat and the personal access to the river.
Tremendous potential, but clearly overpriced at the end of the day
This cabin is a real diamond in the rough. I hope it ends up on the market soon.
The good:
1. location
2. the loft room
3. the views from the deck across the river
the bad:
1. VRBO "host fees" that jack up the overall price unnecessarily. I mean, someone must be making plenty of money still, without these fees. and what exactly is the "host" doing if they cant even get the dock to be set up !?
2. the lack of landscape maintenance which inhibits the potential view that could be had
3. the kitchen is poorly understocked which could be easily remedied by a single trip to a Thrift Store
4. the fact that there could be river access for swimming, kayaking, fishing, etc, but the floating dock and staircase sit idly underneath the deck of the house (and its mid-summer yet nobody has bothered to set it up)
5. exorbitant cleaning fees which should be pro-rated. One would pay the same fee whether they stayed three nights or thirty - wholly unfair to the short term renter.
Needs some TLC reported to Vacasa Inc.along with photos upon arrival, minor maintenance issues: exhaust fan middle bathroom not working, toilet seat loose uppers bathroom about to fall off, sliding glass doors hard to open.
This place needs some TLC, the only room that was updated was the bedroom downstairs
The 2 bedrooms and bathroom on main floor and loft were horrible and way out of date.
No way to get to water just a whole bunch of bushes.
Stairs were up behind the house. No access to water

Needs a little more TLC
We like to try new places, so we saw this place and the pictures were okay but next time take a moment to zoom into the pictures.
So we arrived and I opened the door and the 1st thing was a musty old smell from the entrance and throughout the house. Had to open some windows even though it was raining hard outside. We did not let water into the house.
I guess the house had not been used for a while.
The baseboard in the bedroom had not been attached right and each time you moved in the bed it would hit the wall, and we had a hard time sleeping. We had to put something behind the bed board so it would not hit the wall.
We understood that the fireplaces did not work, but it looks like that been like that for awhile.
Sorry to say we won't come back to this house. It's needs some TLC.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
No water access or boating after August!
Be aware! There is no water access or boating after August! Property should not list or show photos of boating after August, which is misleading. This house is rather outdated also.
