A Real Gem

We absolutely loved staying at this cottage - everything was spotlessly clean, beautifully curated, and everything we needed was supplied. The hosts even left us a lovely welcome pack consisting of 2 bottles of wine and a s'omores kit. Honestly one of the best places we've ever stayed at. Look forward to returning one day soon.

Nice little summer getaway

Nice place to relax. Fresh air from trees and river. Loved the outdoor seating areas, the deck, the fire pit and the deck. Love seeing the birds, crane, chipmunks etc. Inside was roomy. There were board games and outdoor games available to use. So many great things about the place.

Cottage Life

The cottage was well maintained and had more on the listing than expected. The owners also were very responsive to questions before and during the stay. Would highly recommend it.
