Pros:

The entire property was clean, river bank was trimmed neatly enough that my wife could watch the chipmunks play from the balcony.

Perfect other than hard bed and tiny pillows
Pros:

The wildlife just outside our door and the creek also just out our back door was amazing. Very clean both inside and out.

Cons:

The bed was too firm for us and pillows were tiny.
