We loved our time on the North River! The cottage was cozy and comfortable and had everything we needed. The river was lovely and calm and we enjoyed kayaking and paddleboating and just sitting by the fire in the evening. Would definitely return!

Very clean and well kept. We enjoyed the wildlife we saw and loved sitting on the very large deck having our morning coffee. Nice area for a campfire and a dock. Recommended for a quiet restful time.

This cottage is exceptionally clean, cozy, and ideally situated right on the river. The view from every single window literally looks like a frame from an oil painting.It is an unbelievable spot for wildlife and bird watching. During our stay, we spotted blue herons, kingfishers, vultures, wild turkeys, turtles, frogs, and plenty of fish right in the water.Our host was outstanding. Before we arrived, they reached out with key local side-trip recommendations and a thoughtful reminder to bring fleeces for the lower temperatures, which made our trip completely seamless.An amazing experience from start to finish—highly recommended!

Our second year staying here and we loved our week! The cottage is small but perfect for our family of four. Clean and has all the essential items. Brad was friendly and communicated quickly, giving us tips to make our stay really wonderful. It's very kid friendly, my kids loved catching sunfish off the dock, rides in the paddleboat and kayaks and of course the playground out front. Listing is accurate - not a great spot for avid swimmers. There are many weeds but we made use of the floaties and we enjoyed being near the water and the beautiful views from the dock or deck by the cottage. Very quiet spot during the week. We would love to come back again next year!

The cottage itself is nice. A few things I wasn't impressed with. The location of the cottage to the highway, not being able to swim off the dock, very small hot water tank, water turned ice cold very quickly. No large bowls, say to make a salad in. The remote for the TV is broken, inconvenient to have to get up to turn off and on and adjust volume on the tv itself.Things we enjoyed, nice large deck, very spacious kitchen, bed was comfy, close to town for any needed supplies.Overall it was nice.

Dear guest, Many renters feel the ease of access to the cottage and to surrounding towns and villages a big benefit! In terms of swimming, if you read our full property description you will see that our listing does inform potential guests that this is not the same as a lakeshore/lakefront cottage. We maintain transparency of this! The welcome binder left in the kitchen does inform guests that a previous renter damaged the RCA TV remote (sucks I know!), which is why we leave the input on the HDMI setting for the Amazon TV and connect the Amazon audio to the Bluetooth soundbar allowing you to control volume with the same Amazon remote! All you need to do is power on the TV on and off when desired. Most people appreciate even just having STARLINK wifi, Amazon streaming services, the Nintendo gaming console optional when vacationing at a cottage. North River Retreat

Great spot

We spent a fall weekend with our 8-year-old and dogs. We all had a great time. The property is exactly as described. We spent much of our time on the river and the fire pit at the edge of the river was wonderful. Comfortable home with everything you need. It was great to have shopping amenities 8 minutes away. Overall perfect for what we wanted and we'd be happy to return.

The cottage was beautiful! We loved our stay, it was quiet and peaceful. We fished off the dock, floated around and went for some paddleboat rides along the river. The cottage has all the basic necessities and was clean and comfortable. We spent most of our time on the big deck over looking the river or on the dock. It was about 10m into town which was perfect for supplies. The property was perfect for my little guys (3 and 5), they found lots of wildlife, played on the playground and fished all day. Brad was very communicative and helpful. We will be back next year for sure!

Fishing Use

The cottage was excellent for our needs of fishing. It was clean and easy to navigate with all the item at hand. With the understanding the cottage itself was not a luxurious place where my wife would like to stay. But thats another story. All in everyone was very happy. IIIsewavehawthstay.woulsdwould be
