Quiet, Peaceful, and Serene
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage! The place is impeccably remodeled and we really appreciated that this place had some of its original charm too! I gave it 4 stars but it really should be 4.5, only because I felt that the steps leading up to the bedroom were really more like a ladder and we felt they were too steep to navigate especially in the middle of the night. So we opted to stay on the pull out bed instead. From the pictures it looks like you can fish right from the back yard but the bank is too steep. However we found some spots that were a 5 min drive away! The scenery is gorgeous in the Fall and can’t be beat! This place is also fully stocked and we really appreciated the kitchen and the closed in porch! Cody was such a great host and we definitely enjoyed our stay! Would recommend to anyone looking to book a quiet, peaceful, secluded getaway!

Quaint place & relaxing retreat
We were looking for a close by and quiet weekday getaway and this place delivered. The upstairs loft bedroom reminded me of climbing into my boys’ treehouse. I loved it. Note that upstairs is a double bed with a headboard and footboard. Definitely will go back!

Relaxing getaway
I had to travel to PA for a doctor’s appointment. I chose this place to stay because it appeared to be relaxing, in a scenic location. The property was exactly as described and more. All amenities were readily available, and the host was informative and communicative. We got some much needed rest during our extended weekend, and we’ve already talked about wanting to come back!
