WE all loved your place!! There were the 7 of us that came to visit the area and to see the fall colors, we were all very comfortable, very family friendly atmosphere . The location was just beautiful. It could use some deep cleaning like the vents and windows and the inside cob webs, replace the burnt out light bulbs, lots of bugs in the light fixtures but it is that time of year. I myself clean for homes too so I look into these things way to much. overall very nice place. I did clean some inside windows myself, hope that was ok :)

The train traffic was understated. The trains rolled through almost every hour, night and day the entire time we were there; Friday and Saturday and Sunday. On Friday night, one train parked on the tracks immediately behind the property, blocking our access to the river and the dock for the entire weekend. if you do not care about getting down to the river, this is a great property. it was clean and very large to accommodate our family gathering. The screened porch was very nice. The rec room area was awesome for our teenagers and adults and we enjoyed the pool table and the darts. We also really enjoyed use of the kayaks that were provided!

The house was as described and had plenty of room for our group to spread out and visit during a family reunion. The screened in porch was great at night for meals and board games together after a day of boating on the water. All in all our family enjoyed the space & it was perfect for our group’s needs.
