The host was so wonderful to work with! Always available. The house was so quaint and had everything we needed. Great location- peaceful with short distance to exciting downtown!
Nice cottage on Cane river. Comfortable beds and furniture. Monica (the owner) was good at replying to messages. We loved the Christmas Festival music, food, drone show and fireworks!
Very clean, well stocked, nicely decorated house right on the banks of the Cane river. Beautiful views out the large sunroom windows and from the patio.

Our goal is make sure our guests are comfortable and enjoy their stay. So happy you enjoyed the view of Cane River. Thanks and please come again!!!
Beautiful place. Very peaceful but not too far from town. I bet it would be fun in the summer with kids because there was a ladder on the deck for the river. The host always answered my questions quickly. It had everything you need for a restful vacay
Great location on the Cane River, close to town. Neighbors close but quiet. Wi-Fi and cable tv. Everything worked. We liked the ceramic tile floors. Small issues: shower very small, no bathroom exhaust.
Cute little place not too far from town! Within 10 minutes you can be at Walmart and downtown. Nice little dock to fish off of. Neighbors are pleasant. Kitchen stocked with everything you need. A/C is cold!. Bedding is nice. Would definitely stay again.

The Cottage was precious!! My daughters and I stayed the weekend for the Christmas festival. We had some friends staying downtown. The cottage was the perfect meeting place, we were able to cook and visit. The beds were comfortable. Plenty of pots, pans, dishes, towels, and bed lines. Only a 10 min drive to downtown. There was a dollar store and little store with groceries 2 mins away. We couldn't have had a better time.
House was as advertised. Fishing was great. We caught over 70 bream. Only one garbage bag was supplied. The dishwasher was broken. The TV in the main bedroom was not working right. These issues would not be particularly important except for the fact that the rate was $275 a night. Otherwise, the location, views and fishing were very nice.
We enjoyed our stay.The house was so cozy,nice & very clean. Beds were very comfortable. Love the notes all around letting you know what & where everything was. It is a nice deck over looking the water. Can’t say enough about how nice this place is. Highly recommend. Home away from home. Thanks so much Monica!
