Such a wonderful home and experience! Booked this cottage for three nights for my fiances birthday and did not disappoint. The home was so cozy and clean. The rec room is awesome and very entertaining. The owners go as far as keeping glasses in the freezer for ice cold chilled drinks. I highly recommend this cottage for a nice R&R! Would definitely come back!

We had a wonderful stay! The home was exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated for Christmas, which made it feel so cozy and festive. The hosts were incredibly thoughtful and clearly put a lot of care into making sure the house had everything you could possibly need. Everything was well taken care of and exactly as described. We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend!

Cozy get away

Perfect place for a cozy weekend. The weather was not the greatest but the hot tub, rec room, games and TV were all a bonus for family time away from home. We were especially happy to be able to bring our dog.

Perfect getaway!

I was so impressed with this getaway! The place was spotless and full of amenities! I particularly enjoyed the hot tub. I also appreciated the history of the dam break. I am looking forward to returning when the dam is fixed! The game room was also a lot of fun. Even without the waterfront, this was such a great place to stay! The hosts were very accommodating and the late check out was greatly appreciated! I highly recommend booking your getaway here.

Wonderful stay!

My husband and I came here for our 15 year Anniversary. It was a wonderful stay. Very clean and comfortable. The surrounding houses were close but it was very quiet and relaxing. It had most everything you would need for preparing food as well as coffe options. The Jacuzzi tub was just amazing! We used it nearly twice a day the entire time we were there. The game room was a lot of fun for just chilling out. We were a little dissapointed as we had no way to Kyak since the river is no longer there for the time being as that wasn't indicated on the site. But otherwise we were 100% satisfied and talked about coming back with our kids at some time! We highly recommend!

Wonderful Time Spent With Family

My husband and I were in the area visiting our son and his wife and their 3 week old baby. The house was perfect for us. Spacious and well appointed . We stayed in most of the six days we were there and cooked. The kitchen was so well stocked, there wasn’t anything my husband, the chef of the family, needed. We especially loved The Toasted Toad “bar” which was a perfect addition when you’re traveling with an infant and can’t go out to a real bar. Pool table, dart board, TV. We had many memorable nights at the Toasted Toad. Honorable mention goes to the fire pit . Coming from Florida it was nice to have a fire in the middle of the summer. Great time bonding with family.
