Great place to stay

Our stay was short but delightful. The house had all the essentials, was spotless, and offered a peaceful ambiance with a river view. We're already looking forward to returning in the spring for a longer visit.

Birthday getaway in Grafton

This house was perfectly located in town. We could have walked but drove due to the heat. It was clean, perfect spot, gorgeous sunrise and sunset weather and views of the river on the deck. Would definitely recommend this stay!

Great property!

This property was so convenient to get to, beautiful views, and a lovely interior! We were blown away at all the extras that were given: coffee, creamer, popcorn, soap, shampoo, lotion, and much more! The beds were big and comfortable. The sunroom overlooking the river was my favorite!
