This was my second stay at the Sunset River Cottage. The property is as beautiful, clean and neat as imaginable. I don’t know what anyone could ask for to make it better. Communication with the property owner ensuring that all was good is amazing. That kind of personal attention is just about unheard of today. Can’t wait for my next visit.

Perfect for us

This was our first visit to this little gem and looking forward to a return stay. My husband enjoyed reeling in the fish. I loved the scenery and quiet time to read. A lovely place to unwind. The manager was helpful and also Don and Brenda were great.
