Peaceful waterfront stay
My partner and I stayed for the weekend with our baby and another couple and had a wonderful time. The house was spotless and nice and cool inside when we arrived to check in on a hot July afternoon. The kitchen was well-equipped with what we needed to cook our meals and share them out on the deck looking at the river. The river view is stunning—we even saw a few bald eagles. All my communication with the host, Jess, was extremely pleasant and her replies were quick, informative, and helpful. I would definitely recommend this VRBO if you’re looking for a quiet weekend with friends or family. I hope to come back soon. Thank you!
