We were looking for a getaway to relax and found it here. Loved the atmosphere and we had everything we needed, plus some. The beds were very comfortable and all amenities were provided as stated. It was just a short drive to historic downtown and scenic drives. I would definitely recommend this cozy cottage and will be returning in the future.

This property is absolutely beautiful! The view from the dock and even from the den inside the home is stunning — the perfect backdrop for a peaceful escape. We loved relaxing on the spacious deck, taking in the scenery, and enjoying the quiet surroundings. It’s an ideal spot for a couples’ getaway — comfortable, private, and incredibly relaxing. The hosts were so communicative and helpful, making the entire stay smooth and enjoyable. We can’t wait to come back!

We surprised my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. The hosts were so accommodating and kind. They helped us pull off the surprise! My parents loved their stay...they said it was so relaxing and beautiful. They were surprised by the bottle of wine and note. It was such a personal touch, and they were so touched by their generosity and attention to detail. Thank you so much for sharing your property!

The cottage was clean and bright. We loved the big windows looking out over the water! It was a short getaway for us and was exactly what we needed! Beautiful fall foliage, peaceful and relaxing. Short distance to Hot Springs where we went for a scooter ride on the Hot Springs Creek Greenway trail. :) followed by lunch at Deluca's. Then we returned for a kayak ride on the calm waters and some fishing off the dock. The Adirondack chairs were perfect for just hanging out and relaxing on the water. The furniture in the house is super comfy including the bed. Best night's sleep in a while! Julie and Roger were very responsive and available for whatever we needed. Thank you for the perfect respite!

Quiet and peaceful retreat

On a deadend road, with no to zero traffic. The birds and the water makes a special get-a-way from everything. The view of the waterfront, the outdoor space and the living space make a great combination. Thank you for letting us stay here.
