We spent the majority of every day at the riverfront or in the water: fishing, kayaking, swimming, napping in the hammock, enjoying the fire pit, and making s'mores. We loved the party lights at the riverfront- a really nice addition and quite beautiful at night! No sand spurs in the lawn- the kids could play barefoot. We're really grateful that we saved over an hour of travel time because the key was already at the property. Common space furniture was comfortable, and we loved being able to bring our dogs. The robust wifi signal handled all 11 of us on various devices including an xbox.
We noticed a few maintenance issues. The shower in the bunk room dripped, and we couldn't turn it off completely. We had trouble with the oven holding an accurate temperature. There's a peculiar smell under the back porch door, and the outdoor trash cans were full from previous renters with no bags in them. The porch frig doesn’t seal properly so we could only use it for drinks. Trimming the limbs over the driveway to allow tall vehicle clearance (SUV with kayak on top and Sprinter van barely fit) would be helpful. The carpet in the bedrooms is very badly stained; laminate might be a better choice for this property. I received 4 separate messages about various fines in one day. Then, we saw numerous signs posted around the house detailing many of the same fines. One email/message or one sign with these listed is adequate and preferable.
The Hospitality app was very helpful and made it much easier to get information to everyone in our party. The property is simple and met all our needs. The river access is the best part of the Swimming Hole! Thanks for a fun vacation!
