Perfect for sunsets and birdwatching

It was the perfect location for a relaxing long weekend. The place is very nice, very clean, perfect for a couple, with a beautiful view on the river and beautiful sunsets. The screened in porch is great and we got to see bald eagles from the backyard. We will definitely come back off season for another quiet stay.

The cottage was spectacular! We walked in and the place was so clean and stocked with all the basics you would need for a river weekend getaway. We brought our boat down for the weekend, and the dock had solar led lights to guide us back to the dock - very nice touch! The only negative was the stove top was cracked and didn’t realize till after we purchased food at the grocery store.

Thank you for choosing Ferry Creek Cottage and we are thrilled you enjoyed your stay! We love that you brought your boat and enjoyed the use of the dock! We are aware that there is a crack in the stove top however it does not interfere in any way with the function of it. We wish you had reached out to Kim for clarification and we are adding a note to that effect to the household information. We do hope you visit us again sometime!
