This was the perfect home-base for our family of 4 during our visit to grandma. Beds and furniture were comfortable, the house is thoughtfully decorated, and the welcome book includes helpful information on nearby shopping and restaurants.

The home was exactly as represented—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located on the river. We loved spending two cozy fall nights by the fire pit, listening to the owl and watching deer along the riverbank. It was a peaceful and relaxing getaway!

Maria was very responsive and she was willing to work with us during the check-in process. The accommodations were cute and cozy. We will likely be back again and hope to utilize some of the outdoor space when the temperatures are a little warmer.

what we expected. it was clean and more comfortable than staying in a hotel. Bath and shower were a little small and dated, but it met our needs.

Peaceful riverfront stay

My teens and I loved this well-equipped riverfront cottage with its large deck and river access. Great for fishing or just unplugging. The kayak and paddle board made this stay a wonderful adventure. Highly recommended!

Relaxing River Rental

This was such a sweet little place, just perfect for my husband and I. Everything about our stay was just what you’d want it to be when you have to be away from home. It was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. We spent every morning on the deck enjoying coffee and a beautiful view. The kitchen was set up so that we were able to make meals, there was room to get comfortable and watch tv, and there was internet so that we could watch tv or work on the computer. Very comfortable and a place we’d come back to if we were in the area.
