Family get away

great property had a fantastic time. My only feedback would be that there needed to be better kitchen equipment (quality of knives large pot) extra toilet paper, cling wrap and garbage bags. There was only the garbage bag in the bin and no others that we could find.Don’t get me wrong you have a lovely place there on the river and we would defiantly stay again.Thanks for having us.

Amazing!

We have stayed at many places on the river and this property is a new favourite. Lots of thoughtful touches, beautiful location and a lovely place. Great for a large group or two families. We will be back. The owners are also great communicators and were very understanding when we had to shuffle dates. Thank you!

We stayed for a couple of days over the long weekend and it was just perfect. The water was calm for kayaking and amenities were great! Was quite a busy time for a cold long weekend away but the friendly neighbourhood dogs were welcomed and everyone was friendly and lovely. Great weekend all round!

By the River

We all enjoyed our stay here. We were comfortable and impressed with the supply of pantry items - coffee, salt sugar sauce ect. The kitchen is lovely. We had every thing we needed and sat by the fire most of the weekend. Thank you Michelle :-)
