Our stay at the Stafford River House was enjoyable, yet marred by disappointments with its upkeep. Despite its potential, the property seemed neglected, evident in overgrown outdoor areas and poorly maintained water equipment (paddle board was only halfway inflated and pedal boat was halfway submerged in the river). Inside, cleanliness was lacking, with broken chairs in the kitchen, dated appliances, and a molded scrub brush provided in the kitchen sink. The bedroom layout lacked a master suite, and the limited towels provided were less than ideal. The inconvenience of a washer outlet being locked by the owner/management to prevent use compounded our frustration. Nonetheless, the property manager's kindness and communication were commendable, allowing us a late check-out amidst our flight delay. While our family time was cherished, the property's condition didn't justify its cost.
