We really enjoyed the house and the "away from it all" feel, while still having a house that had clearly been recently renovated and was in excellent shape. I didn't tell my 2 kids anything about it, so when they opened the lower-level entry door into a room with a VW bus, their reaction was priceless. Everything was in good (or great) condition. We might have been a bit nervous with small kids on the ladder-stairs, but ours were fine. My son loved the corn hole setup on the deck, and the views of the river across the bluff were great. It's a grand view from the upstairs balcony/deck, and due to the great weather, we spent a fair amount of time out there lounging.
Here are my only gripes about the property/listing:
1 - It is advertised as "riverfront" and looks as such on the map, but you are actually on a sheer bluff with railroad tracks running at the base. There is no physical way to get down to the water on foot, even though it is not very far away. So you definitely have a water view, but not water access. This would have been fine if it was disclosed on the description, but I basically packed my fishing rods for nothing, since there wasn't a way for me to walk to the water. The gravel road is roughly 1 mile "as the crow flies" from the paved road (maybe 1.25 miles actual driving?) and is relatively bumpy in places (slow driving). It was just inconvenient enough that I decided I didn't want to drive off to find a spot to fish on my own. There was almost 0 cell phone signal in the area, so I decided not to leave the family behind and completely lose contact. Not a huge deal since it wasn't a "fishing trip", but if it was my primary intended activity, I would have been quite irritated at the surprise. Details like this would have come out in the reviews of an older rental, but since this one is pretty new, I was apparently the guinea pig.
2 - Minor issues with the internet and, oddly, the TV sound quality. In both cases, I was able to unplug and reboot the router & TV and the problems resolved themselves. This happened 3 times in 2 days. The internet would have been less of an issue, except that we relied on it entirely due to the almost-zero phone signal.
3 - The "master bath" shower is pretty non-standard. I'm not very tall, so it was fine, but if you are a 6'+ man you'll have a problem getting your head wet without stooping down pretty low. I'd guess the shower head is 5' high.
I'll go back if I don't plan to fish!
