The location is prime! You can see the river from the back porch and on the weekends it is full of people having fun! Big rocks park has swimming and the kids couldn’t get enough of sliding down the dam into the water!

Nicely located, eclectic cottage with a cute outside patio vibe. It was a very nice stay with good property owner communication. Great for a couple and one or two children.
