This place was so beautiful… from the front deck any way… there is a faint dog smell that you will need to cover if you are not a dog person and you will probably need to bring an auxiliary lamp to have by the bed. The only lighting available is overhead lighting.

Nice place, well decorated and right on the river. However the location was behind a storage rental building more on an industrial side of town

Beautiful riverside cottage

The cottage was peaceful and a perfect place to send my parents to relax. The check in process was a bit odd, the cottages are not clearly marked, they had to guess which cabin was theirs and try their code. Otherwise, this place was perfect. Cozy, clean, and the hosts were quick in response and great hosts!

Lovely fishing cabin!!

I will admit we were a little nervous about a few eyesores driving to the cabin. If you can avoid looking at the storage aheds and don't open your eyes until you're on the back deck of the cabin, you'll feel like you have found a romantuc getaway perfect for your husband and the pooch. Perfectlu lovely!

I was a little confused when I got to the cabin(s), I was expecting one and there were four so I had to locate the cabin I was to stay in. I was not able to turn on the heating/air conditioning and there were no instructions for the unit. I didn't realize the coffee maker was a keurig so was unprepared too make coffee, it would have been helpful if it was described in the description. There was no chair for sitting except for the kitchen chairs. Big screen TV but if you don't subscribe to a streaming service you can't watch TV. The cabin was clean and nicely decorated but not a place I would bring my wife. A little too primitive for me at my age, I need more comfortable lodging. Also, I messaged the host with three questions and only received one response. I checked out after one night and am requesting a partial refund.
