A great father and son trip to a special place. The communication with the host was excellent. The interior space is very comfortable. We used the futon and it was easy to use and a lot more comfortable than I expected. Lots of vintage charm with the curved ceiling and the metal cupboards. We used the stove and oven and both worked well. We also used the outdoor gas grill and it was clean and easy to use. The air conditioning in both the main space (living and eat in kitchen) was powerful and quiet with lots of functions to get to the perfect temperature, same with the bedroom. Both air conditioner s worked independently. Very convenient.The front and back decks are safe but might give children a splinter so be warned. The back yard is rustic. The owner graciously allowed us to pick some tomatoes and we cooked them and needless to say, fresh and healthy. I also picked a few wildflowers to add a unique local beauty to our stay.Took a walk to the private beach and I can see people really enjoy themselves there. We remained mostly on the property. Been to the river many times and, the home was so comfortable, why leave. The road to the property, easy to navigate but discourages anyone but property owners and guests to enjoy, safe. Private but not too isolating. The few neighbors we spoke to were kind, all smiles and lots of families strolling around. Lastly a great value, way better than a motel or other rentals in the area. We had a great father and son bonding trip. Cheers
