Another wonderful stay for us at this conveniently located gem. It feels like a second home -warm, inviting, spacious, and very relaxing all while listening to the constantly moving creek.
Beautifully renovated space with tons of room to spread out and comfy beds and seating. Note that the "kitchen" is comprised of a toaster oven, countertop two-burner stove, and microwave. It's adequate, but you certainly can't cook a turkey or a frozen pizza. Communication was fine but unnecessarily complicated. I booked through VRBO so I'd prefer to communicate through VRBO. Not sure why everything had to switch to Vacasa. The location is extremely convenient, but it's also this property's downfall. The creek is lovely to look at and listen to, but it's hard to hear between all of the loud trucks and motorcycles that pass directly in front of the house. Dump trucks crossing the bridge literally shake the house. There's a white noise machine to help drown out the noise for sleeping, but it was so loud during the day that we found it hard to truly relax. The porch off of the master bedroom was the only partial respite. If you are unbothered by loud traffic noise and trains and want walkability, stay here. If, like us, you find steady traffic noise bothersome, I'd suggest elsewhere.
1. I prefer to deal directly w/host rather than through Vacasa--didn't realize that was the case when I booked it. 2. Not sure why others say it's so scenic--yes, technically it's on the river but you also see & hear a busy street.3. Had a hiccup getting into the house--back gate lock was too high for me to reach. 4. Had to keep upping the heat to get it warm enough--even though temp read at 65 (what we keep it at home) it was chilly.5. When we arrived back 1st evening after dinner there was s/one sitting outside the gate who didn't move. We kept waiting for him to leave while we sat in the car, eventually he did leave but it unsettled us. The sign about trespassers on the house didn't help give us confidence.6. House was spacious & comfortable otherwise
We really enjoyed our stay at this historic home. The house is much larger than it appears in the photos with the master bedroom tucked in the back of the house with a deck overlooking the creek. The location allows you to explore all Main Street has to offer but we also enjoyed the Frog level area just outside our door!
Fantastic location, comfortable beds and a great family room where we were able to play cards and Yahtzee in the evenings after some intense golf matches with my son and my nephew. I would definitely stay here again.
The charming cottage was cozy and comfortable! We didn't mind that the kitchen had no built in oven /rangetop because there were so many terrific restaurants in walking distance we wanted to try. The countertop microwave & oven were sufficient for our minimal cooking. Our only issue was a malfunctioning dryer - the mgmt responded quickly to our report of and attempted to fix it twice but its probably in need of replacement. Despite that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
