10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
We had such an amazing time staying at this beautiful property. Rachel was so kind and accommodating when our travel plans changed. She made us feel welcome and was very responsive to our questions prior to check in and during our stay. This house is at a great part of the river where you can either launch a kayak to go upriver or just jump on a float and ride down to Swampy's. The home is very well taken care of and every detail was thought of. The kitchen has everything you need, there were thoughtful touches in every room, and the furnishings were very comfortable. We stay at multiple VRBOs every year and this is the best one yet! The backyard feels like you're at a resort; it was so peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely be back.

We had an amazing stay at this property. The house was so nice and incredibly clean. It was stocked with all of the amenities that you need to make your stay convenient and pleasurable. The backyard is the perfect oasis, right on the river. We plan to come back for sure!

I was initially nervous about reserving, the listing was brand new on VRBO and didn’t have any reviews when I first booked. I’m so glad we took the chance because the home exceeded our expectations!The house was clean, comfortable, and fully stocked. Rachel truly went above and beyond with all of the toiletries, kitchen essentials, and extra supplies already available. You can tell she put a lot of thought into making guests feel at home. We didn’t have any issues during our stay, but the few times we communicated with her, she was very responsive and helpful.The best part of this property is definitely the location with direct river access. We tubed directly from the house, which took us about 3 hours to drop off at Blue Run. The home also came equipped with several inflatables and kayaks. We absolutely loved our stay and would 100% come back again!
