We loved our stay at the cottage. It was perfect for our trip to move my daughter into wcu. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of moving her into the dorm. I would definitely book this cottage again.

Great stay, not fancy but comfortable for a family. Close to lots of outdoor adventures. On a nice river with a good working hot tub. Hope to go back soon!

We (my husband and husband) were looking for a fall weekend getaway and found this place. It was just what we wanted. When we arrive the place was very clean and honestly the listing looked better in person then in the photos. There was plenty of room for the kids and the kitchen appliances were updated. I was pleasantly surprised the place came with cable TV because most don't anymore and there had a beautiful gas fireplace that we had on often. It was perfect for us but just so others know because of distance, we did have to arrive at night it was a little tricky to find (they mention that upfront). Also this house is very close to 3 or so other houses at the end of the road so if y'all are booking for a super secluded experience this may not be it for you (in the house you don't notice it but we definitely saw folks as we were coming and going).

Thank you for this wonderful review. We're so glad your fall weekend getaway was exactly what you needed, and it's fantastic to hear the home looked even better in person than the photos suggested. We love that the updated kitchen, cozy gas fireplace, and cable TV made the stay so comfortable for your family, and we're thrilled you found plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the weekend together. We really appreciate you sharing those thoughtful details about the location and proximity to neighboring homes for future guests, and we'd absolutely love to welcome you back for your next escape.

Great place. Right on the river and private. Our only concern is the amount of bees on the back deck. A simple fix for a great place!

The property was more worn than in the pictures. It was clean and was a good value for the money. Yard had lots of mole or vole tunnels making it hazardous to walk around.
