So starting off with the good. the location is excellent. The river is very nice and accessible directly from the property. the water is deep, and slow. It's easy to use the included kayaks and canoes on. The owners were responsive when the ugly (see below) occurred.
The bad. The air conditioner was unable to keep the main floor below 79 degrees when it was about 90 outside. The upstairs only has two small window units and they struggled with the heat as well. The advertised hot tub was unusable. the water looked like "weak tea with a film of bugs" as one guest aptly put it. The house is not updated in any way. the furniture is dated, as is the entire house. It would be a great place with some honest investment, but it shows it's age and wear everywhere.
The Ugly:
The maintenance on the house is clearly reactionary, not preventative. How do we know this? On our second day, the downstairs bathroom began to spew sewage from both the toilet and the tub, covering the bathroom floor and rendering the entire downstairs uninhabitable. it took a few hours to get a plumber there who laughed when he opened the tank. "filled to the brim" he said. "should have been emptied weeks ago" he added. A few hours later a cleaner came to clean up the bathroom. Now i understand that things happen sometimes, but it's very disappointing that the owners made no effort to apologize, much less offer any concessions. A partial refund would have made the situation forgivable
