We really enjoyed our stay. The property was exactly as described. A bundle of wood was provided, so we enjoyed the firepit overlooking the water. It was just what I needed for a short, peaceful getaway. I cannot wait to book this property again.

Excellent accommodations after a long day. Incredible view of the river from the room. It was very clean and cozy, lots of natural light and privacy. We watched the sunrise over the river, making our morning that much more special. It was perfect.

Cute, very clean and cozy small (but adequate) 1-room cottage with its own patio below. Nicely decorated, had snacks and quick breakfast items too. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom a bit tight and the only sink to use was in the kitchenette area. Lighting to put on makeup could have been better. Hosts were prompt to reply and very helpful! I would consider this cottage again.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
It was really more like a nice hotel room than a guest house due to the small size but intelligently designed and compact. Nicely styled. The pictures and description on the site were accurate so I was aware in advance of the size and it wasn't really a drawback for us. It was clean and comfortable with everything you need for a short stay. There's no electrical outlet in the bathroom, however, so if you need to blow dry and style your hair in front of a mirror you'll have to use the full-length mirror by the door where there is an outlet. You can't beat the view and proximity to the river which is what we were there for. Very peaceful and quiet. The grill and fire pit were appreciated amenities. Jill was prompt to respond to messages. She even kindly offered to mail the shirts we had inadvertently left in the closet.
