March 2026

Overall, we had a positive stay. The property is spacious and comfortably fit 19 people. The location was peaceful with a great view, and it felt secluded while being close enough to town for convenience. (Covington is home to a paper mill, which produced an unpleasant smell that drifted indoors when we opened windows.) That said, the home didn’t fully match the standard shown in the listing photos. While obvious areas were clean (fresh linens, swept floors, clear counters), there were smaller maintenance and cleanliness issues, such as dirty kitchen equipment, worn outdoor furnishings, damaged window screens, and outdoor areas that felt neglected. One grill wasn't usable, and some exterior patio lighting didn’t appear to work. The listing was accurate in layout, but the quality and upkeep felt a bit dingy compared to the photos. Overall, this is a solid option for large groups. I would consider staying again, but would explore other options first.

Jeremiah was a great host! Their lovely place provided ample of space for my family during our stay. He was also helpful and responsive. His instructions were easy to follow. Would recommend his place, especially around summer time, as it’s by the water.

Our extended family gathered at the Jackson River home and had a wonderful fall weekend. We used all the indoor spaces and felt that our large crowd had plenty of room. The more active among us enjoyed walking along the river trail, and we all appreciated the pretty river right outside. Jeremiah was pleasant and very responsive to every inquiry. Thank you for a great stay!
