This is a special riverfront property, with so many areas to enjoy the estate-like yard space, a semi-private river access, fire pit and any kind of cooking implement you can imagine. Really enjoyed my stay.

This home’s yard and beach front property is what really made this place shine. The cottage itself was small even with only 3 guests, which made it challenging to cook in the kitchen space. However we spent most of our time outside on the deck which have beautiful views. The only issue we ran into was some trouble with the stove and oven pilot light, but the host was quick to respond and send help when needed. Overall we look forward to staying here again.

We had a fantastic family vacation at this property. The inside is small but suited our needs just fine and we appreciated the updated decor. The star of the property is the yard with stunning views and lush plants. Our daughter and dog burned off their endless energy running around the grass and down to the river. Precious memories were made during our trip and we can’t wait to come back!

It was so beautiful! The weather was hot all around us but the trees provided so much shade and we walked down onto the River and floated around with the ducks. It was heaven! Beds very comfortable. Close to town. Highly recommend!

Sister trip

The place exceeded our expectations. It was so beautiful and the property itself was great. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all meals and we enjoyed the jacuzzi and firepit for the evenings. I would definitely stay here again.
