Good location - has great potential
The property was beautiful and was in a great location for this visit to the area! It has so much potential! This rental worked for me and my pets. However, my one major complaint was the cleanliness; mostly the kitchen and bathroom. My suggestion is to use bleach or better cleaning products. The livingroom area and bedroom was very clean. This is supposed to be a 'vacation rental', people want and think expect CLEAN; every nook and cranny, the floors, the outside, etc! They have a beautiful deck/porch out the back that has a wonderful view of the backyard down into the woods! LOVED it; however, the railing was extremely unsafe and the cushions on the chairs and lounge looked like they have been left outside through a few winters; they were not inviting to sit on. No one sweeps or cleans the webs from this area or off of the house. The sliding door was extremely difficult to open and close! Everything mentioned here is easily remedied to make a great vacation rental much better!

Serenity!
I recently stayed at this vacation rental. The location is absolutely perfect, nestled amidst stunning natural beauty with the Delaware River right in the backyard. The views of nature were breathtaking, and I loved waking up to the serene surroundings each morning. The property is centrally located, making it easy to visit New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. We enjoyed day trips to each state, knowing we could return to our peaceful retreat at the end of the day. One of the highlights was the ample patio and fire pit. It was a perfect spot for relaxation and making memories with loved ones. It's a true gem for anyone looking to escape into nature while still being conveniently located for exploring the tri-state area. We can't wait to return!

Cleanliness
The house was not clean, especially the kitchen. One of the bathrooms has many dead bugs and spider webs. The sliding door to get to the back deck was near impossible to open and close. It would also be nice to have a real wine glass instead of a plastic one. The house from the outside looked dirty and unkempt. The good part was the beds were comfortable and the outside yard was pretty.

Walking distance to the river
Me and my family had a great time staying at Edison's house. It was walking distance from the river (the calm side of it branching off from the main river) and had a forest behind it for the little ones to collect twigs for the firepit in back.

Great Host!
We stayed at this property for 2 nights while in the area visiting friends. The host was excellent to work with. He always responded immediately to any messages I sent with questions. He was even kind enough to let us check in early the day of arrival. The property was just what we needed for our stay. Because we spent a lot of time with friends we didn’t use the kitchen at all but it seemed to be very well stocked with everything one would need. The beds were very comfortable. The air conditioning worked well. We were very satisfied with our experience.
