After a recent three-night stay, I'm afraid I can't recommend this rental. I fail to understand the 9.2 rating (especially with such inflated fees). A previous review mentioned worn mattresses in upstairs bedrooms. They apparently hadn't been replaced, and backaches ensued for two of our family group of five. The downstairs master bathroom had a loose toilet seat. My infirm sister, who could use only that bathroom, worried the seat would slip and cause her to fall. She called Shawn, who told her he'd "look into it". Didn't happen. More amenities (extra linens--especially for the pull-out; reading lamps & tables; bathmats; soap & shampoo; extra toilet tissue, some books..) would make guests more comfortable. There's not one extra pillowcase, but at least a dozen stained pillows. If you don't wish to cook with sulphury tap water, you'll need to bring loads of bottled water. The entire yard was covered in anthills. The grill had no grate, so was unusable. We enjoyed the river view, and fishing is good. But swimming is not possible due to the current, nor can one wade. Waters edge deemed unsafe for children. The house has some nice features: a/c & fans throughout, mostly what we needed in the kitchen, comfy sofas, pleasant dining room with a water view. But, it seems the host isn’t very interested in making repairs, replacing bad mattresses, or supplying what it takes to make a stay into a more comfortable one.
