There were no problems with our stay at any stage. We appreciated the chargers and cleaning products provided. There is very little light pollution in the area and the sky at night was gorgeous

First time using VRBO, it was a great experience! Hosts were very accommodating and easy to communicate with start to finish.

This is a cozy and well-appointed tiny house on the river. Everything is sparkling clean, up-to-date, and simply and elegantly arranged. It's the kind of place that got me thinking I could enjoy tiny house living!
