"This beautifully renovated home right on the river was the perfect spot for our summer family "reunion." Overall, the home's amenities and view exceeded expectations. The house is obviously newly furnished, even with tags still on some itemss, but unlike most homes furnished for renters, they actually bought high quality sofas and mattresses with comfort in mind. Everything was spotlessly clean and updated. Good shower pressure, new towels and linens, fully stocked kitchen and a plethora of games and toys for both kids and adults that we took full advantage of. Hosts were extrememly attentive and easy to work with. Even though it was slightly above my budget, I am so glad I splurged on this home and would definitely stay here again next time we visit family in the area. A surprise bonus is the local farmer's market store very close by where we purchased delicious fruits and veggies and flowers for grandpa's grave. My grandmother loved coming over during the day to watch the boats and enjoy the river view from the comfort of the couch and AC in the house. Separate AC controls for upstairs and downstairs was also so nice to keep everyone comfortable. Highly recommend. "

"We had an enjoyable stay in Essex. The lake is lovely and we took advantage of getting out on and in the water. The house, which is updated, offers multiple spots to sit indoors or out to enjoy the view. Our group was all adults, but this house and property was well set up for families with young children. Downsides included WiFi issues to start, bedding issues, and an initial concern about an algae bloom in the lake which resolved itself after a day or two but would have been a major limitation given we chose the rental based on the water access.

"Loved our stay. Great place to chill."

"We really enjoyed our stay in this little rooftop apartment. We are a family of two middle-aged adults, a tween, and a teen. As mentioned in the descriptions and other reviews, the stairs are a bit steep, but we managed them quite well with our carryons, and actually preferred the outdoor spiral stairs. This apartment is small, clean, and perfectly serviceable. It's not a luxury space, but we weren't looking for that, and we were very happy with our experience.We were there during a particularly hot few days (at one point, my husband's phone said it was 104 degrees out--oof!), but the larger AC unit running in the living room plus the one bedroom unit kept the apartment at a very comfortable temperature. Note that if you do need to close bedroom doors to sleep (we have light sleepers as well as loud snorers, so this was necessary), the one bedroom without an AC can get a bit warm. However, there's a very nice pedestal fan that kept us generally comfortable through the night. And if you are lucky enough to be able to keep that bedroom door open, the main AC unit will keep you comfy. ;)We had one issue crop up during our stay, and the owner/manager was very responsive to texts and the issue was quite quickly resolved. We very much appreciated his professionalism and quick replies.Overall, a comfortable, clean place with some fun quirks and lots of character (slanted roofs! the spiral staircase!). If we are ever back in the area, we would be happy to stay here again."

"This place was fantastic; it's in a perfect location, removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. I loved how close it was to the town center, making it easy to explore everything. The people I met were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with easy access to local attractions. It truly made my trip enjoyable!"

"Wish I could have spent more time there. Very nice"

"My wife was so impressed that she thought we couldn’t top this place, so we booked for 2026 memorial weekend "

"Wonderful property we used while in town for wedding events over long weekend. Accommodated our 8 adults and 1 infant perfectly!"
