This cozy cottage was perfect for a 3 night stay. The yard is big and private, perfect for games and bonfires. We brought tubes and enjoyed floating by the dock watching the boats go by. The screened in porch was the perfect spot to relax while it rained. The grocery store and restaurants were within walking distance. The host messaged me the day we checked in to make sure we got in ok and to see if we had any questions. I’m happy to report that we didn’t have any issues, but I’m sure a problem would have been dealt with very quickly if we did. Everyone agreed it was a perfect getaway!

Wonderful place to get away to!! House had all the essentials and more. Location couldn't be better right on the river at the end of a quiet street and just a very short walk to the park with beach on the lake or downtown for groceries ,ice cream cone or a drink. Kayaks, grill, fire pit, board games and tv provided made sure there was lots to do without going far or on a rainy day as well. Furniture was all comfortable including on the screened in porch for relaxing in. Really enjoyed our visit and would recommend to others !
