Getaway stay

The area is beautiful and the weather was perfect. Betty’s and The Hofbrau had the best food. The rental house had everything we needed and was clean. The only discrepancy was the listing said there was a 1/2 bath but there wasn’t. And it was in a great, walkable area.

Great 2 king 2 bath creekside condo in walking distance of main attractions & food.

We (2 couples) wanted to stay in town and avoid the hassle & expense of parking. This condo was perfect for us. Assigned covered parking right under the building and elevator to our top floor condo were a great addition during our rainy stay. We will rent this place again!

Great Spot on the River

Lovely property, full of amenities and comfortably beds and furniture. We spent a lot of time on the screened porch above the river, listening to the rush of the water over the rocks. Convenient to everything, yet off the main road and traffic. Easily recommended. We felt at home.
