We enjoyed our stay at the house and area. The house had plenty of room & well stocked for the family. I do wish there was a little better way to access getting in river easier for someone with knee replaced..

Stillwater is awesome. It is so peaceful. The kids enjoyed the water access and fire pit while the adults enjoyed the dock and deck. The kitchen was well furnished and the beds were comfortable. We are already planning another trip.

We had a wonderful stay. Very relaxing and positive vacation. The owner/operators were very helpful and prompt. An opportunity for improvement would be the new ladder and platform into the water. The platform is very cumbersome to use. Would work better if it were lower like the old platform was. Some of our older guests had trouble getting in and out. Also, the piano has a couple of sticking keys and needs to be tuned. Other than those two items, we had an amazing time and look forward to future stays!

It was very easy to book the property and nice and quiet. We didn't use the upstairs because there was only two of us.

Beautiful property. Easy to find. Tons of space for a large family. We had 12 with us and everyone enjoyed the cabin. My only complaint is the mattress upstairs are not comfortable at all. They were very cheap. If not for that I would have gave the cabin 5 stars.

Lots of areas to sit and socialize. Upstairs has many low ceiling areas to watch your head when walking. Kitchen has many utensils & cooking needs with newer dishwasher. Nice big updated bathroom. Place needs a good deep cleaning-many areas need to be dusted like under side tables, baseboards, windowsils and grease/dust on kitchen cabinets. No cell service but place has a lan line for emergencies & good wifi. Very rustic with unlevel floors in one bedroom & upstairs hallway but makes gives ut character. Enjoyed our short stay.

We enjoyed our stay, the house was clean and well-decorated! Neighbor's dogs came to visit quite often and were very friendly. Best pillows ever in the master king room. The beds weren't very comfy but the extremely soft sheets made up for it! The downstairs shower was a dream. Wonderful place for a large family gathering (We had 11 and not on top of each other!)

Everything was good. The only issue was the garbage was overflowing the day we arrived. Garbage pickup is limited. The management did come by and put the garbage in the cans at the street that had been scattered by an animal. Very quiet and enjoyable time.Very roomy with lots of outdoor space.

Great location. Directly on the river.

We rented Stillwater for my dad’s 87th birthday. Being a family of dad plus 4 siblings and our families, the 5 bedroom place was a perfect size. We planned all meals at home, so having 2 full size refrigerators was a godsend! Not to mention the huge dining areas and double living rooms to accommodate everyone. We fished from the dock, and had fun swimming and floating around in the river. Would highly recommend this house for a fun, relaxed family or friend group trip. Wonderful!

Home had musty smell to it and floors are unlevel which caused an issue with a guest with bad knee. A canoe was pictured on the listing, but was locked an not for use with the home. Plenty of beds for guest. Overall, for the price, we had a nice stay. The home met our needs and we enjoyed our fellowship with friends.

My family and I wanted a place to relax for an extended weekend. Our cabin on, which, by the way was on the water, offered everything we needed, from fishing to exploring the nearby nature trails, for a relaxing extended weekend.

So roomy!
House was very spacious. Kitchen was well stocked. Loved having 2 living rooms and the big dining room for games and dining. Hot tub worked great. House was right on the river which was beautiful. We arrived on a very cold day and the heat was turned off in the house, even though it was a wifi thermostat. The temp inside was 44 degrees. Thankfully there were extra blankets available and we all just slept fully clothed. Because it was such a cold day, it took about 24 hours to get the temp up to 60. We made sure the unit was left on 60 degrees on checkout as instructed.

We went for a girls trip. Didn't catch any fish but the house was as described and would accommodate way more than we had in our party. Perfect place for a getaway

We enjoyed this house so much. There were 12 of us. We got together to celebrate a recent high school graduate. There is so much space, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, large dining tables, comfortable beds, and a marvelous view. I will rent this home again.

On arrival at 8pm, the code for the lockbox didn’t work. We texted the on call number as instructed. The WiFi code in the welcome email was misspelled so we couldn’t connect to WiFi from the porch. The cell reception was terrible so the texts barely went through. After an hour, someone came and let us in. Upon entering, the house had not been well cleaned. There were dead bugs in the bathrooms. The kitchen cabinets were in disrepair. The fridge door and handle were grimy. The bookshelves had not been tidied and books were strewn haphazardly. It was advertised as having central AC but the upstairs bedrooms had window units. The pictures on the website were clearly out of date because the rooms had different furniture. After touring the rental we decided to drive home that night. We didn’t feel safe staying there during the COVID pandemic. I emailed management repeatedly asking for a partial refund but kept getting a run around. I called VRBO and logged my complaints.

We never felt comfortable in this house as the old musty smell that hits you when you enter really turns you off. Then to walk into the kitchen and see bugs running all over counter and floor was disgusting to say the least! Had there been some place close to go to , we would have left immediately. This place is filthy! The list of cleaning recommendations for COVID-19 is a joke. The toaster had crumbs under it and the inside was nasty and looked as though it had never been cleaned. All the appliances look greasy and like they need a good cleaning. I opened the oven door to find it had been sprayed all over, even racks, with what I assumed was oven cleaner and then just left! There was a puddle of black gooey substance accumulated at the back of oven. Needless to say, we were unable to cook anything that we had planned on cooking which was disappointing. We just went out for every meal and was in no rush to get back to that creepy house. There was a wooden plaque hanging in kitchen that the top was literally covered in hair and black dust. It was so gross. The ceiling fans, lamps and light fixtures were covered in dust as was the doors and cabinet doors. Windows had thick white spider webs in some of them. I don’t think the room with fireplace had even been vacuumed as there was a big wad of paper under one of the sofas that was on legs with no skirt and in easy view. The upstairs bath had small tiny bugs stuck to the ceiling and there was a a small spider smashed on the door. The book shelves were not organized and neat. The kitchen cabinets were a jumbled messed and smelled musty. They all needed to be washed. The house is just a hodgepodge of rooms with locked cabinets and doors everywhere. There is a basement that you only see when you go down back stairs to go to hot tub or dock. It has a sliding glass door which is nasty and covered with a curtain so you can’t see what’s in there. Makes you wonder if somebody is living in there! It was very unsettling. On the side of the house we found a door going into what had been a garage but part of the garage had been used to make another room. The part of the garage that remained had this door entering it with just a screen door leaning on a nail to hold it up. There was a solid door also but it had a not to not close it. That was also unsettling as you wondered who had access to this and could they gain entrance to the house without our knowledge. It was really freaky.

This property is a gem! It is on a natural large wooded lot, has plenty of room for an extended family plus it is on a peaceful river. We loved playing on the river and enjoyed the swimming decks one day.
While the weather was cool we enjoyed walking, hiking in the Desoto State Park, hanging out in the living room in front of the fire and using the hot tub. We hope to return in the spring.
