Rider”s Den was perfect for us. The cottage was cozy, ,clean and comfortable. I loved the beautiful path leading to the cottage. All the beautiful landscaping made it feel like home away from home. And the cookie was a special surprise and treat. Thank you for providing us with such a lovely stay.

Charming Surprise

This cottage was such a charming surprise! The space was clean and updated and well taken care of. Perfect for my overnight stay! There were chocolate chip cookies waiting for me and the nicest classical music playing as I entered the space. The outside area was picture esque and I may have snapped a few pics to brag to co-workers! Will def. Stay here again when in the area!

Very cool property, close to everything and the neighborhood was nice. Only negative was the property endorsed the Skyline Cafe which is only a short walk. The service was horrible, we ordered an omelette for each of us and still did not have it after an hour. Other than that everything else was perfect.
