Our mission was to have a quiet and peaceful 4th of July for our senior dog...accomplished. Listening to the sound of the river was perfect for his humans. Very relaxing.
As for the accommodations, it left a lot to be desired, at least for us. Especially for this nightly rate! There is rustic and then there is this. So many updates need to be done and some as simple as maybe some new curtains in the livingroom, or at least put a decent hem in them. The bath and kitchen towels were old, dingy and fraying. The only comfortable furniture was the queen bed in the front bedroom. The livingroom furniture was really bad, in terms of comfort. We ended up using the beanbag chairs, which for us older folks, wasn't ideal.
There were many items lacking in the kitchen for food preparation. Kudos to the PM for doing a little shopping and coming to the rescue. Some basics would be nice as well, like maybe a couple of simple spices, some regular vegetable oil, and how about a little starter bag of coffee? Bath soap bigger than the teeny-tiny bar provided? To borrow from the TV program "Vacation House Rules", maybe Rule #3...Be Your Own Guest!
Finally, it's possible that the PUR water filter needs to be changed? We can't confirm anything, but both my husband and I became violently ill. Him on the 2nd to last day of our stay, and me the day after we got home. I'll spare you the details, but it was BAD! Consider bottled water (even for cooking) and ice purchased at the store.
