Perfect reasonable lakeside accommodation for families!
We loved the location for our family, especially being right in town. The kids could walk over the park and we loved having the coffee shop literally next door. Accommodation was comfortable and everything you need for a family stay. Lakeside dock, outdoor eating/hang out and games room are really awesome to have! We really definitely return.

Really great
Amazing location, clean comfortable cottages. Would definitely come back but would be great to be able to bring the dog…
Unit had everything you would need. Clean and comfortable. Location is walking distance to everything you would need. Right on the water for a swim or a float.
We were very happy with the quality and cleanliness of the property. Everything was very nicely presented and new. The beds and bedding were very nice and comfortable. The location is amazing with outdoor sitting and a private dock on the River. We look forward to coming back and staying again
Everything you need in a quaint little riverside apartment!
BOOK THIS NOW! This place is fantastic! It’s clean and modern and has everything you need including AC that works phenomenally. Our host was incredibly nice, professional and super attentive to anything we needed! The location is superb; you can’t get any better. From the moment we arrived until we checked out we had zero issues or complaints — we even stayed an extra day! We can’t wait to come back! We plan to book this exact same unit time and time again!
