Great Little Hideaway
This property is convenient to Geneva where we spent most of our time. It’s almost impossible to find a one story property with 2 full bathrooms plus a washer/dryer. The owners were responsive to our questions and concerns plus the family is on property. We will definitely stay again when we return to the area! Even the car rental location was only 10 minutes away…..

Wonderful stay
The house was wonderful! We were in town for a school conference I had to attend. It was close to the location I had to be at while also offering privacy. Had an issue with the door that was fixed immediately and was kept in touch with about anything we may need. Great experience!

Sweet river spot
We enjoyed our stay with our family of 7. There was plenty of room for everyone. The house is beautifully updated. The kids enjoyed a little time on the river. Secluded neighborhood off of city traffic noise. Quiet and peaceful. Comfortable.
