Had a wonderful stay at this beautiful river side cottage. Everything was so comfortable, clean, and inviting. The wonderful views along with the peaceful surroundings made this the perfect getaway if you are looking to disconnect from everything and enjoy nature.

Overall, the property is beautiful. It is remote and therefore very private. Unfortunately, my trip was a total wash out with rain the entire weekend. This of course, is due to an act of nature, however, the road leading to the property is mediocre at best. It is more of a dirt road than graveled and has areas that are almost washed out. On a dry day, it may not have been as challenging get to the property, but we were in a new SUV and it was quite scary going down the road. Another reason for not giving 5 stars is that the road has a great deal of low-lying branches hanging from the trees that scratches up your vehicle. Therefore, in the rain, once we got the first scratch, I had to walk the long road and physically pull back the branches so that our Denali could come through without getting more scratches. I would love to visit again if that road gets some work done. Final comment is that the sofa in the living room needs some new cushion covers. The current ones, though gray, you can visibly see the stains which makes you feel dirty when sitting on it. Those are easy fixes and hopefully someday, they will be addressed to make it even better for the next clients. The Host and Hostess were very pleasant and communication was GREAT.
