Beautiful Property!
This house exceeded all my expectations! The only complaint I have is the bed mattress was super hard, felt like I was sleeping on the floor. I would not use this property again ONLY because of the bed. Everything else was outstanding!

Amazing!
I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The host left a basket of snacks which was extremely thoughtful (and there were even a couple bottles of wine in the fridge!!). The house was spotless and the location was beautiful (right on the Maumee river). I contacted the host prior to booking to ask about the location with relation to a wedding we were attending and he responded within 30 minutes. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Zero complaints. Thank you!!

awesome stay!!
We thank you for sharing your home with us. We loved the location because I was visiting a friend that lived on the other side of the river and came to pick us up on her pontoon!! My husband and son got in a lot of fishing, so that was a plus!! If available we will stay with you again. Thank you again Susan DiVenuto-Young

The house was great for visiting with family. Plenty of open space inside. The space at the river was fun for all. Dining and ice cream was just down the road in Grand Rapids. We will stay again.

This was a great place to stay! We were in town for the weekend visiting family, and the location couldn't have been better. The house was clean and cozy, and the river view out back was just gorgeous! The host provides a lot of little extras to make you feel comfortable, and we had a really great time.

Amazing River Vacation!
This house was absolutely perfect for us. We are a family of four with two teenagers. We're originally from Northwest Ohio with family now scattered from Toledo to Napoleon. This location was perfect for visiting family and just relaxing. I had forgotten how lovely the river is and how pretty the surrounding little towns are. With 24 going all the way through now, the location is great. The house is very clean, extremely well equipped, and the welcome basket!!! They give you all the goodies for s'mores and wine too!! What a great surprise! If you're looking for a quiet getaway, some river fun, or just scenic views close to Toledo, this is it. I will stay here every time I visit family. Way better than a hotel! Hosts were also very responsive... Texted us after a thunderstorm with a power outage to tell us when the power would be back on and asking if we needed flashlights or candles. We were super impressed with all the extras like the coffee pods, extra blankets and pillows, and the welcome basket. They also have lots of seating outside and inside. Loved the chairs outside too. These hosts thought of everything and we can't wait until our next visit!

Beautiful River View and Awesome Hospitality!
This little house is a gem! The river views are gorgeous, but the house itself is efficiently presented, clean, and every need or want was thoughtfully provided for. If needed, response was quick. Thank you for the wonderful welcome basket, stocked with everything to enjoy the fire pit which is located on the riverside. Close to the quaint town of Grand Rapids which offers shopping, dining, and festivals. Don’t miss out on this experience!

Long weekend get-away
We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at this property and would definitely book it again! The canal boat ride in downtown Grand Rapids, just a few minutes way, was a unique experience, but I particularly liked our time staying at "home" watching my kids play in the river from a shaded chair on the riverbank and catching beautiful views out the windows while eating or chatting in the evenings.
