I was a great property with beautiful views of the river. The only thing was that the hot tub was not ready to go.

The home was very nice and had everything we needed. We were a little disappointed to learn that the hot tub was not working. Had we known sooner, we would probably have tried to change our reservations but there wasn't enough time to make that happen.
