Amazing location and the perfect size for us to spend the week. The snacks and coffee bar were a great addition. The parking was right outside the entrance and the views were breathtaking.

This is a wonderful guest house. The host has thought of anything you might need and tucked supplies around the room. The bed was comfortable, the view was beautiful, and time by the river was peaceful. I can only hope to go back again soon! Stay here if you have the opportunity!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was exactly as described. A bundle of wood was provided, so we enjoyed the firepit overlooking the water. It was just what I needed for a short, peaceful getaway. I cannot wait to book this property again.

We loved our time at this quaint little guesthouse. There's approximately the size of a hotel room with much more charm and convenience. The kitchenette area is perfect for preparing snacks. The view from the window is absolutely amazing especially first thing in the morning. Everything was clean. Sitting by the fire pit at night was absolutely wonderful as well. It's nice to know that there's a grill there for next time we stay. We will definitely be back! (Also the restaurant Sweetwater Kitchen and Cocktails right down the road is a must do)

Excellent accommodations after a long day. Incredible view of the river from the room. It was very clean and cozy, lots of natural light and privacy. We watched the sunrise over the river, making our morning that much more special. It was perfect.

Cute, very clean and cozy small (but adequate) 1-room cottage with its own patio below. Nicely decorated, had snacks and quick breakfast items too. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom a bit tight and the only sink to use was in the kitchenette area. Lighting to put on makeup could have been better. Hosts were prompt to reply and very helpful! I would consider this cottage again.

Perfect getaway for a workcation. Mom of three with a husband who recently started having international work travel, so decided to take a couple days for myself to relax and catch up on work. This was exactly the type of place I was looking for!
