Hunting trip
House was perfect for our needs. 3 bedrooms & the 1-1/2 baths was nice for 3 hunters. Washer & dryer was perfect. Carport was great for keeping our hunting supplies dry. We will like to book again next year, if available.

Exceeded Expecations
I knew this place had good ratings but for such a low price, I had expectations set modestly- this place exceeded my groups expectations. Place was so clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The hosts were so receptive and definitely went above and beyond when I didn't plan so well for one aspect of the trip- they stepped up right away and saved a whole day plan for us- me and my friends kept saying how happy we were with this place entire time- great location, 40 feet from river and fishing pier, quick drive to cave in rock, and relatively short drive to Garden of the Gods- nice quiet neighborhood- best deal I have found on VRBO was this place

Hog rock
We came for the rally at hog rock. This place was located near by. Overall good place to stay. Had several spiders around the rear entrance that my wife did not like. Otherwise it was clean and tidy.

Property was sufficient for what we needed. Updated restaurant and wi-fi password info would be helpful. Air-conditioning situation was challenging but not a deal breaker. Cleaning crew could do a much better job.

Everything was clean and as described. Elizabethtown is cute and hopefully gets few more little shops. Riverside mercantile was great! Our dog seemed comfortable and relaxed. Views of river were fantastic.

The property was as described and was a great ‘home away from home’. It was nice to have a place to relax each night after riding the motorcycle all day. We will definitely be returning!

Elizabethtown home
We had a good time and really enjoyed ourselves the house was very clean and well stocked for the most part the house said it’s big enough to hold 6 adults and 1 child but that was a bit much for the house. There wasn’t a enough room for us to all sit in the living room and watch a movie nor was there enough table space for us to sit and eat a meal the table was small and only accompanied 4 people but we made it work all in all we had a great weekend
