What a wonderful place to stay with family or friends. The waterfront yard is enormous and private with gorgeous views. The cabin has every amenity you could ask for. All three of our stays were delightful.

The cabin had all the amenities we could ask for and the location and grounds are spectacular. We can't think of a single thing that was missing. Can't wait to go again in different seasons.

This cottage is beautiful. It’s the ideal spot for Sunsets. They are amazing. My grandaughter who is 4 loved the swings. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and relax. We were amazed to see a big bald headed Eagle when we first arrived. He was sitting on a tree and didn’t care about us at all. What a nice greeting. Jenny is a super hostess. The cottage is spotless. Very comfortable. We stayed 9 nights.

This cottage was lovely for a little family getaway. The place was clean, AC worked great, and washer /dryer was a plus. Sleeps up to 6. Kitchen was minimally stocked so may be worth bringing some extra supplies if needed. The beach is awesome and water access was easy. The dock isn’t useable to tie a boat to and seemed quite unsafe to stand on so don’t plan on using that during your stay. Overall, would recommend.

Amazing place of peace, tranquility, and beauty. View of the river and seating by the river is so calming. This place offered everything you need with the exception of mixing bowls and baking utensils
