Beautiful riverside cottage

The cottage was peaceful and a perfect place to send my parents to relax. The check in process was a bit odd, the cottages are not clearly marked, they had to guess which cabin was theirs and try their code. Otherwise, this place was perfect. Cozy, clean, and the hosts were quick in response and great hosts!

This place was so beautiful… from the front deck any way… there is a faint dog smell that you will need to cover if you are not a dog person and you will probably need to bring an auxiliary lamp to have by the bed. The only lighting available is overhead lighting.

Lovely fishing cabin!!

I will admit we were a little nervous about a few eyesores driving to the cabin. If you can avoid looking at the storage aheds and don't open your eyes until you're on the back deck of the cabin, you'll feel like you have found a romantuc getaway perfect for your husband and the pooch. Perfectlu lovely!
