Bring your boat and dock it at the private deep water dock that is within eye shot distance of Half Moon Marina for boat lift, bait and gas.

Very nicely appointed with nautical décor, freshly painted and new floors, this spacious cottage accommodates up to 8 guests with 3 bedrooms with a king in the primary, a queen and a twin bed in Bedroom #2, and a queen and a twin in Bedroom #3. The primary and guest bath has been completely remodeled. The major advantages of this property are the amazing panoramic views of the river, the private deep water dock and 3 full bathrooms (yeah - no waiting around on others!). Hang out with your family/friends in the spacious living room with plenty of seating and watch movies on the new 65 inch TV. Or enjoy some quiet time with a book and a cup of coffee in the separate lounging room. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking at home with a refrigerator, cook top, dishwasher and DOUBLE oven.
