Perfect for single or couple quiet getaway. Owner lives on site. She ia nice. If you walk across the river area access and go down to the right a bit, the water gets deep enough to swim.

The cottage was very comfortable and cute. It was also very clean. Love the fabric on the kitchen cupboard doors- such a clever idea! The kitchen was clean and had the necessary cookware needed.We also walked down to the river and had an enjoyable time.

Excellent! We could not have asked for a better experience. My husband and I needed a little R&R and this was the perfect place to get it. Charming little house and very clean. Owner lives on property but we only saw her once. River is right behind her house. They have several seating areas on and near the river. This was my favorite place to be in the mornings and evenings. Perfect place for quiet getaway!

Property was clean and well maintained. River access was not as described. Which was disappointing, my Mom had difficulty navigating the path.
