Annual river trip

Me and a group of friends from highschool always do a river trip once a year. This vrbo was awesome and accommodated everyone. Having 2 refrigerators was a great addition. The river location was amazing and just deep enought and the new floating dock was perfect for getting in and out and just hanging out bythe river. My only complain was we wished there were more cooking trays but that wasnt a big deal at all. IdFosure5a555ospecfloatingwaswaswasper

Beautiful river front getaway

The house had plenty of space for our extended family of 13! Plenty of places to sit and eat together and enough rooms and bathrooms so that everyone was exceptionally comfortable. The outdoor area going down to the river is very nice but it is a steep climb down to the edge of the river if you have little ones or older people. We hopped into the river every day right from the backyard, got out at the exit at the end of the horseshoe and then took the 10 minute walk back to the beginning of the horseshoe to float back to the backyard of the house. Would definitely stay here again!

On the river

The property is spacious; our extended family spread out and were comfortable. We made a lot of use of the deck and dock; they are wonderful! Thank you for making such good river access. We used the tubes and enjoyed the river so much! The kitchen and dining areas are great; glad of two refrigerators. The bedrooms are terrific, and we much appreciated the several bathrooms. We took several walks on our road and really enjoyed the neighborhood. Made use of the grocery store too, Lowe’s Market. Thank you so much.

Amazing Staycation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I decided to start a new tradition and rent a nearby waterfront property to bring in the new year. This was a great choice! The property has been renovated and it shows! The amount of rooms and bathrooms is exceptional, plus there are two sections of the home w/a bit of added privacy. The access to the water is well protected with a gate which made it safe since we brought our three toddler aged grandchildren. The property is also pet friendly, and has plenty of space to cook for large families with double fridges!

Wonderful Time Away and Excellent Space

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this property to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We invited 5 other couples (no kids) and absolutely loved the space. We honestly booked in BIG part due to the TWO large tables in the kitchen area where we could set up multiple board games. The space was clean and spacious AND we loved how there were separate wings for the bedrooms. The river and area was beautiful, but only a couple of people dove in for a "cold plunge" as it was certainly too cold to swim in. Nonetheless, the outdoor area was lovely.We enjoyed being close enough to town to order good food, but far enough away to feel like we were actually retreating a bit.If we could get a group together again like that, we'd definitely go back. While we didn't have kids, a lot of the rooms have bunk beds and could have accommodated them nicely.
