The place was small and pretty basic. The beds were very comfortable. We could not get the Roku system to work after the first night. We liked that the home was a block ish from the Mississippi River. But, we were under the impression that the Home was actually on the Mississippi river. But that might have been our fault for miss reading the listing. Home was literally feet from the state highway and the little home shuddered every time a truck went by. After a couple of nights it kinda became a quaint feeling and didn’t bother us so much. The kitchen sink and area surrounding the front door could use a little scrubbing or dusting for cobwebs at least. If we were younger and more adventuresome, we might stay there again. It was cute.
