This is such a BEAUTIFUL and unique house and property! The hosts are also so kind. We were able to do our rehearsal dinner in the backyard and got ready in the house for the morning of my wedding. There were so many pretty places for photos and it allowed us plenty of room! Would definitely stay again

50th Birthday Dinner
From the moment that we arrived everything was perfect. The house was so welcoming and beautiful. The house was very well stocked with everything that was needed and then some. Ron was such a pleasant host to communicate with. I would recommend this place time and time again.

Perfect Stay
There are no words to describe this home and Ron's attentiveness to his guests. The interior of the home is so comfortable and cozy and no detail is spared. We were in town for a volleyball tournament and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This is memory that our girls will have for a very long time. I would highly recommend staying if you get the opportunity!

Lovely home with all the amenities
This home has the charm and beauty of days gone by and all the amenities of today! Very well stocked kitchen and bathrooms and many outdoor items/activities to keep you busy in the huge yard overlooking the river. Mr. Schwartz was responsive and checked in to make sure we had all needs met. Our family reunion was a great success because of this home away from home. Thank you!

Great family get-together!
My family came together to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday & this was a wonderful home for all of us! The game room downstairs was fully utilized & the jukebox was a total hit :) We also took full advantage of the beautiful backyard playing corn hole & badminton while having a BBQ & catching up with each other. The only "downside" to the home was that there is no bedroom on the main floor. My Dad can no longer do stairs that well, so we ended up using an air mattress on the main floor which worked for him just fine. I will mention, there is a separate guest house that I didn't realize we could reserve. So, next time we will opt to include this with our rental so mom & dad can enjoy a good night sleep in their own bed. Overall, we had an amazing time & truly enjoyed our stay! Thank you to our hosts for their warm hospitality.
