The check-in wasn’t quick because VRBO did not send us the code for the door. Fortunately there were some lovely neighbors who phoned Dan to get it for us, then no problem. It would be much better to have had his phone number.

Very clean, comfortable. Everything we needed was provided. Very peaceful and private, and the river activity was entertaining. The only downside was I was unable to use the steep metal stairs so I missed out on swimming. Everything else was great!
