"Our 2 bedroom cottage was amazing, very clean and well stocked with all your travel needs. The view across the river was incredible. We were 5 so the BBQ was a little small(just a table top) but it did the trick. The owner was very friendly and takes pride in her work. If you’re looking for a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature/cottage life this is a must stay. Be sure to Visit the Coop!!(they sell adult drinks too)and, there’s a great antique store across the street. 10 minutes to the right out of the driveway. The beach 12 minutes to the left. BONUS!!! It’s amazingly priced."
