Great weekend getaway

A fantastic cottage directly on the water with dock access. Located on a quiet, dead end street. House was clean. So nice that it was pet-friendly as well. Access to kayaks on property were an added bonus! Hosts were wonderful!

My husband and I had a very relaxing mini vacation. The place came with kayaks which was so nice to take a stroll up and down the lake/river. Carol was very and accommodating when we first got there. The place itself had everything we needed, but it does need a little bit of TLC. Neighbors were friendly and area was nice.
