The Shouse in Newport on the river was incredible. The house was amazing - a luxury experience, large, open, upscale, and felt like home. The surroundings are beautiful: private, peaceful. It was like staying in a private nature resort.

You were great guest. Glad you liked staying with us. Thank you for a super nice review.
The house and property are both so beautiful! The house is even better in person! Everything is in very new condition and so clean and comfortable. The hosts made certain we had what we needed and then some. It was a perfect place for our family to all be under one roof.

Thank you for your great review. We’re so glad you liked it. It was nice having you there.
Your place is beautiful and had great accommodations.
I have a couple things that I would like to address.
Someone down the road block the road and asked my son to drive the other way. No where in the description of the house does it say that it is the meadow by the river….so the incoming directions I think could be clearer.
Your listing says you have air conditioning. I thought this was a little deceiving as there was just a very small portable upstairs in the bunks. I don’t think this place needs it all year but when it’s 90-100 out and it is advertised as having a/c when we got there I was a little disappointed.
Down by the water there really wasn’t a good place to get it with the canoe.
Ok enough of that. Other than those couple of things I thought that your place was really amazing and well thought out. We had a really good time and enjoyed the patio, yard games, walks, and everything inside. Thank you for having a really great place!

We're glad you liked our place and thank you for your helpful suggestions. There is an exit sign to use the first driveway to your left, using the road you came in on, but I will definitely make the EXIT words bigger.
I changed our listing to say we don't have central air conditioning, but a new window conditioner that cools the upstairs nicely.
And the canoe. I agree. It's not easy to get start and one of us always wade in the water to get going. That was an offer I added last minute. A new boat dock is top of our wish list.
We loved our stay at this Shouse! It was even nicer than it looked in the pictures and was a perfect fit for our group of 11.The only challenge we had was finding the house on the first day. We arrived around 10 PM and had a little trouble locating it. It would have been helpful if there was a visible direction/sign board placed near the street entrance from the road. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The house was new, very clean, and had plenty of space both indoors and outdoors. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend it!
