Overall we enjoyed our stay. The cottage was neat and comfortable. We were looking for some downtime, peace and quiet. It was a restful week away from distractions. Really enjoyed exploring the surrounding area.
What can i say about this super amazing property??? The home will make you feel like you are waking up in your own home. Beautiful cabin, everything you need and then some. The pond is nothing short of amazing to sit and have a fire by and watch the nightlife come out to play.. Cannot wait to return again next year.
The cottage was modern and clean as advertised. It has everything you need in kitchen to cook meals or BBQ on deck. It is able to accommodate a family of 4 with extra bedroom. Communication was good with host .
Loved my stay here! Great little couples get away spot. Nice and clean inside the cabin, peaceful location and close to nearby restaurants, owners are very friendly and will help with any questions you may have. Over all a great experience, highly recommend!

We wanted a couple quiet days away and that's exactly what we got here! The cottage is cute and comfortable with basic amenities. It is a beautiful area for solitude, walks and seeing wildlife. We saw so many deer, beavers, turkeys and other wildlife from the dining room window. Thank you!

Everything was amazing!! Host communication could’ve been better though.
We really enjoyed our little getaway and found the cottage to be a lovely, peaceful place to relax. It was clean, updated, comfortable, and welcoming when we arrived. The property and views were beautiful, and we loved spending time outside, especially sitting on the deck watching the beavers. The surrounding little towns were also wonderful to explore, shop, and wander around during our stay.There were a few things that could have made the experience even better. Communication with the host could have been more timely, as we had to reach out for check-in information and responses to some questions took a few hours. We also needed to purchase a few basic items we hadn't expected to need, including shampoo, coffee filters, and a BBQ lighter.One thing guests may want to be aware of is the access to the cottage. The step up to the deck is quite high, and the main entrance is through the back door, which requires walking over uneven rocks along the side of the cottage. This may be challenging for anyone with mobility or balance concerns.That said, we had a very nice stay. The cottage itself was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and the peaceful property and surroundings were definitely the highlight for us. It was a great place to slow down, enjoy the scenery, explore the nearby towns, and have a relaxing few days away.
The host had great and timely communication before and throughout the stay. The location is also a fantastic secluded area but very close to most amenities.
