Nice but needs cleaning and a little fixing.
Overall we had a nice stay. We found the location to be handy. We were pleasantly surprised to have almost no moskitos. There is access to the river but just to look at, no real place to sit and enjoy it or to swim. If you like to walk, you can take a mostly undisturbed walk on the road. We found what we needed in the kitchen. A few snacks and spices were nice. The interior was pleasant and roomy. The disappointment was to find white drool(?) stains on my pillow cases on the bed. And the fact that there were no flat sheets on the bed was not comforting considering the state of the pillows. I found clean pillows on the other beds. The other cleanliness issue was a huge spill on the outside wall, which is already pretty grungy on the back porch and stains on the carpet going out the patio door. So, I didn't want to be barefoot on any carpets after seeing that. Some little odds and ends need tending to: screen on patio door is broken, missing ceiling tile in bedroom... but these were minor issues. The cleanliness was the big disappointment especially for the price.
