Wow! What a relaxing river retreat!

We needed a place to stay while visiting a loved one that was in the hospital. Little did we know how perfect these little gems would be! Patricia was a great host! The cottages at the river harbor were very clean and had everything we needed. Not to mention that they are located right on the river! Amazing! There are several places to eat within walking distance and a grocery store just a short drive away. Do yourself a favor and book now!
