Well cleaned and cozy. Beautiful views. And an easy-to-contact host! Very responsive.One caution to families with young kids: The property is very close to the highway, so use your judgment on whether that works for you. Beds could be upgraded.We would visit again!

Lovely place. The proximity to the noisy highway made it less relaxing than hoped for, but this is not the fault of the host. We were able to have some privacy due to the rooms not being super close. Wonderful kitchen with view. The kayaks would have been probably usedif the current hadnt been so fast.

Cute cottage that has a lovely location on the river. Surprising amount of space including a comfortable living room and dining room. Host has done a nice job. As others have noted it is very close to a relatively busy road but a white noise machine will help. Short drive to Cornell and hiking /biking trails.

This place offered the perfect getaway from the city, and I loved having the kayaks available for use! The house was clean and comfortable, and had everything I needed to cook. The outdoor area down by the river was peaceful despite the nearby highway, and when the water level is low earlier in the day you can walk the kayaks down to the water. Note that the current gets much stronger in late afternoon and water level rises, so don’t get stuck paddling home upstream. Learned that the hard way!

Beautiful day for kayaking.
Almost a full moon rising over the river.

We enjoyed our stay at the river den this last weekend! It was a relaxing, much needed little family getaway. The patio was our favorite hangout spot with the gorgeous view of the river!

We had a great stay at this property. We were in the middle of a 2 week tent camping trip and stayed for 3 nights. Washer and dryer worked well and the place provided all the comforts of home. View was beautiful.

At first appearance, the place was welcoming. However, before even having my bags unpacked I noticed the shag rugs in bedroom appeared dirty,I vacuumed myself,canister full. There was only basic cookware, silverware, stove was difficult to use, water tasted terrible. This is an old mobile home and the heat doesn't distribute well throughout. Some wall panelling was pealing off in kitchen. I've gone on 6 VRBO trips this the worst. We stayed 2 days of 5 and would have rather been home. Right on highway and loud. The host was nice.

River Cottage Fishing Trip

The cottage is right on the water and very clean. Perfect size for 3 adult men to have enough room for a 3 night stay. Has all the amenities we needed including cooking utensils. The directions provided were correct and it was easy to access per the directions. Great place and great view.

Amazing Views

The location of this property is right off a highway along the river and can be easily missed if your are not familiar with the location. The property was gorgeous minus the road kill in the front yard. The view from the back patio area and kitchen windows was absolutely breathtaking. Overall this is a beautiful hidden gem and the property manager was very easy to get in touch with.

ON the River!

The cottage was absolutely adorable, and perfect for an impromptu weekend getaway. I could have spent the entire weekend standing in the kitchen watching the water pass us by. The location was great. Plenty of places to end up within 20 minutes of the place. The only thing that would have made it better would have been staying in the summer to see it without those couple feet of pesky snow :)

Hi! My name is Kristen and I have two amazing kiddos. I am a full time real estate agent & have always had a love for houses. Naturally, when I see a property that is special it's like a magnet. I felt that way the first day I stepped foot here. I shined it up, with some help from the kids and we are ready to provide a warm, cozy place for people to stay and enjoy this fantastic river location! We hope you love it!
