We had a really nice time here for our anniversary. It is true waterfront property with a proper set-up. It's own peer, a small sandy beach, a couple 1-man kayaks, a 2-seated paddle boat, chairs, a firepit, and plenty of firewood. Recommend1

Pleasing driftwood displays, cute and practical cottage & TV/rec room (crabshack). Super river view! Enjoyed the kayak experience though the descent to the water was doable for me but more than my wife’s bum knee could take. She was happy at the patio overlook & crabshack. We enjoyed the weekend getaway 9/5-9/7 and want to return, especially if can catch a pleasant snowfall.

We had a wonderful stay!

We sought a relaxing getaway and found ourselves in an extremely picturesque environment. While the weather cooperated beautifully for us the entire stay, the ease of working with the host and their gracious gifts of hospitality and privacy rounded out a very special experience. The cottage is self-contained and small but intimate and perfect for a twosome. I can highly recommend this property and these hosts!
