Well stocked and clean. Beautiful area and the view from the deck is great. Very quiet this time of year. Great hiking trails close.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear the cottage was exactly what you expected and that you enjoyed the views and outdoor space. We’d love to host you again anytime — come back and visit us soon!
The minute we walked in we felt at peace and at home. The river views were beautiful. The house was fully stocked with extra little things that made the stay extra special. We all said we will come back in the summer when it's warmer and we can spend time outdoors.
The cottage exceeded our expectations! The setting was quiet and peaceful, the cottage was clean, comfortable, and well set up. We appreciated that there was pretty much everything we needed/wanted stocked in the kitchen including several extras like a crockpot, blender, toaster, etc. The view was beautiful and was just right for our weekend. The only issue we had was that the internet went out for a while due to flooding nearby, but that was obviously out of the control of the host and they even sent us a kind note about it. Wonderful experience, would definitely stay there again!
Beautiful view, peaceful location for a restful stay.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the paddleboat and had a chance to relax by the fire — two of our favorite features as well. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back for another getaway anytime!
The cottage was super clean and the owners clearly take pride in ownership. A lot of small details in the place demonstrated this including the Navy theme.

This has been one of the BEST Vrbos we’ve ever stayed in. This cottage is clean, neat, very nicely decorated and stocked. Even the little extras like extra batteries for the remotes (which we needed), s’mores ingredients, well supplies kitchen, and amazing outdoor spaces. Will definitely be back!!
