The host was very attentive when we had questions. The cottage is a historical one - very quaint and beautifully decorated with the era in mind. It overlooks the river. The host accepts dogs. She left a few snacks and drinks, and we appreciated that. There is a (sometimes) busy road right behind the cottage, and we used phone apps to help with that noise. We will definitely try to stay here again.

Beautiful Home, Garden, Birds, & Host

The cottage and surrounding gardens are lovingly maintained, and the river view is stunning! We loved sitting on the porch watching the birds. Zuleika is the perfect host: responsive, welcoming, and generous! She even had snacks waiting for us

Peaceful getaway!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the 1818 Riverfront Cottage. The beautiful historical house was nestled on a riverfront property and adjacent to the local green belt. The house was equipped with everything we would need for our weekend getaway & then some. The hosts really went above and beyond to ensure every little detail was accounted for. Our dog also thoroughly enjoyed his stay and made himself right at home. We have family locally and look forward to making this our home away from home for future visits.

A very short but great stay

My wife and I came up to see my daughters senior day for HS tennis. It is about a 7 1/2 hour drive for us and to find the house and sit a few minutes was just what we needed. The tennis match went well but had some tears to go with it. As for the house…it is just the type my wife and I love to find. We were going to go ahead and book it for graduation in May but already booked. We really loved snd will use it again for my sons graduation next year…and maybe more.
