The Good: This property is well - loved, and the hosts were very accommodating. It is so rare to find a place on a river that doesn't look straight into a whole neighborhood of riverfront property. This place was peaceful and beautiful in a very authentic, unfussy way. There were people around, but it was quiet and never felt crowded. Loved sitting on the front porch and watching my kids splash in the river. Close to a lot of spring destinations.
The Not So Good: It says it is air- conditioned, but that is a bit of a stretch. There are free-standing portable ACs in each room, which only work to a certain extent, and cannot work all at once without overloading the electric system of this old cabin. We were only able to use two of the three bedrooms because of this for the duration of our stay. If you are finicky about heat and humidity, this is not a property you want to visit between May and September. The listing says a 'playground' - There is one tree swing. It is a fabulous tree swing. But it is just a tree swing. The listing said the property came with a kayak. There was evidence that this had once existed, but none to be seen. On the other hand, we were offered bicycles, which were not listed. Unfortunately, not really a good place for bike riding.
Overall: It is charming. If charming is what you want, and flexible is what you are, this is a great find. Probably AMAZING in spring and fall. If you want a more modern experience, this isn't it.
