Relaxing Get-Away

We really enjoyed our stay and the view of the river is so peaceful and such a great view to wake up to. There is plenty of light during the day and a cozy atmosphere at night. Plenty of places to sit and relax. The house was extremely clean and highly decorated which gave an immediate coziness. Check out was hassle-free.
