We have stayed here multiple times in 2020. Unfortunately this trip the property inside was a little more dated than the last. The interior has not been updated, but that's generally to be expected when renting a manufactured home on the river. I could care a less about the looks of the property as long as things are functioning and are properly working. The AC struggles in the bedrooms. The main living quarters have had an update to the HVAC system that the homeowner monitors and cannot be altered. No Big deal, it just gets very hot in all 3 bedrooms, thank goodness they have fans. We just slept on top of the beds with no sheets and some of us utilized the living room sofa instead. The microwave handle was duct tapped back together & the kitchen drawers are all broken and falling apart. Once again, I do not care as they were still usable. My concern was when the owner tried to blame us for those damages. The screen on slider struggles...understood, its clearly dated much like the property. Its very easy to identify a dated screen verses a new screen. The owner also tried to blame us for that. The owner does have cameras all over. We saw this years ago as well. I can't blame them, as I would too if it was my vacation property. My concern is the way the on on the porch faces. It faces into the house. That is very creepy, and does not make one feel comfortable. But, once again we do not have anything to hide as we spend most of our time outside utilizing the river. The owners also own the beautiful two story house directly next door, so they are able to closely monitor this property. Perhaps the next renters can check to see if my story "checks out" as it seems our family was put under a microscope this trip. I have spent thousands of dollars on rentals over the past 15 plus years and have never had accusations for lack of care by an owner like I did with this property. Heaven for bid you have guests over on your vacation, or dinner plans with others not staying on the property, they will message you about it. If you want to enjoy your vacation....then perhaps choose another location. Or just simply take a video of the property when you arrive and when you leave.
The location is top notch! I love Needles. As a River Rat for more than 40 years I can tell you that this is a great location. Just take note to some of my comments above.
