Great spot on the Rainbow River!
Great location! Right on the river & plenty of room. Can easily snorkel or paddelboard to KP Hole for a good trip. Property is a little older but everything worked well. Kitchen well stocked. Great porch for hanging out and viewing the river. Nice swimming right at the property.

Not properly represented
Unfortunately this property was not properly represented. We came with a group of people ages 12-60 and upon arrival the beds were broken, there was black mold in the bathrooms, nothing has been cleaned, mysterious red marks on the walls, not to mention none of the windows locked and the locks to the doors were broken. There is a care taker to the property that did come go check and see if everything was ok, but he did so at 12am. While I had young girls with me, and instead of calling first, he stood on the back porch and seemed to be watching the young girls through the windows. Needless to say after a short encounter with him, we needed up moving to a hotel when he informed us that he was going to be coming in and out of the house to do maintenance work, and could not tell us what time. We felt extremely uncomfortable, and decided this was not the right property for us. The river is very beautiful and in the owners defense it sounds like they do not live near by and rely on the caretaker to maintain everything. After an awful experience with vrbo customer service, we were able to speak with him ans he granted us a refund. I think the house and property could be nice, just needs some major work, and the caretaker needs a understanding of approaching renters at reasonable hours, appropriate behavior towards women and children, and how to deep clean.

Great location but house needs upkeep and booking proceed needs more attention to details
This was a bumpy stay because they “weren’t aware” we were coming even though we booked 4+ months in advance (the owner is very nice and we were offered some nights off to compensate). There was no power in the kitchen when we arrived and no hot water and there were tools and “things” all over the yard, including a gas tank and a ax (not very child proof). There were numerous problems with electric breakers and things not working and also an extra day without power because of an oversight. The house has an extra room that looks like an unfinished kitchen full of unorganized things, adjacent to the master bedroom. The master and adjacent room are divided by a sliding door, so you can hear everything. The adjacent room has no shower as such, it’s more like a shower head coming out of a wall and pointing at the toilet, go figure. This odd room is not counted in the room count so you can consider it extra. The house is comfortable, the AC works fine and we did get hot water once the water heater was replaced. There didn’t seem to be enough towels or silverware so bring your own if you have a large group (we were 11). Also bring your pillow if you’re picky. The location is close to rainbow spring so it’s easy to access by kayak. We had a great time.
