At first appearance, the place was welcoming. However, before even having my bags unpacked I noticed the shag rugs in bedroom appeared dirty,I vacuumed myself,canister full. There was only basic cookware, silverware, stove was difficult to use, water tasted terrible. This is an old mobile home and the heat doesn't distribute well throughout. Some wall panelling was pealing off in kitchen. I've gone on 6 VRBO trips this the worst. We stayed 2 days of 5 and would have rather been home. Right on highway and loud. The host was nice.

This place offered the perfect getaway from the city, and I loved having the kayaks available for use! The house was clean and comfortable, and had everything I needed to cook. The outdoor area down by the river was peaceful despite the nearby highway, and when the water level is low earlier in the day you can walk the kayaks down to the water. Note that the current gets much stronger in late afternoon and water level rises, so don’t get stuck paddling home upstream. Learned that the hard way!

Beautiful day for kayaking.
Almost a full moon rising over the river.

Well cleaned and cozy. Beautiful views. And an easy-to-contact host! Very responsive.One caution to families with young kids: The property is very close to the highway, so use your judgment on whether that works for you. Beds could be upgraded.We would visit again!

Lovely place. The proximity to the noisy highway made it less relaxing than hoped for, but this is not the fault of the host. We were able to have some privacy due to the rooms not being super close. Wonderful kitchen with view. The kayaks would have been probably usedif the current hadnt been so fast.

Cute cottage that has a lovely location on the river. Surprising amount of space including a comfortable living room and dining room. Host has done a nice job. As others have noted it is very close to a relatively busy road but a white noise machine will help. Short drive to Cornell and hiking /biking trails.

Nice!

We had a great stay at this property. We were in the middle of a 2 week tent camping trip and stayed for 3 nights. Washer and dryer worked well and the place provided all the comforts of home. View was beautiful.
