Great Place
Place was exactly as listed! Clean, very well equipped! Host was very responsive! Couple of things though that could use a little thought 1: Is the TV is mounted in a awkward position for viewing from the couch. 2: Some solar powered noma lights to light the way down to the river and fire pit area. Overall, place is a total gem and would recommend to anyone who enjoys privacy, silence(other then the locals working on their properties during the day) and a great place to stay! Special thanks to Joey for her Saturday morning firewood delivery! Also to Abi for sharing this place with us, we will definitely be returning!

Restful week bonding with family
The property was in a great location and had all the amenities needed for a restful week. We had great campfires and delusions meals all cooked on the BBQ. We did many hikes throughout the week and bit of fishing off the property river.

Amazing family get away
My husband and our two kids (3 and 5) stayed for 3 nights and we wish we would of stayed longer. It is a true cottage with a huge amount of outdoor space. The area is SOO QUIET I believe there were maybe 5 more cottages and then a dead end ( when we went for a walk ) so the street is very quiet. The place had everything we needed and more. The amount of firewood supplied was amazing. My husband and I had a fire going for 3 days straight and big ones and it was more than enough. The little swing was an amazing addition for my daughter to enjoy swinging all day. The bbq and outdoor space very well kept. The linnens) I brought my own but didn’t have to change because the ones they have are very clean (white). The shower works great. Nice towels provided. We had wifi the whole time no problem. Overall…. We are definitely going back again!

Peaceful getaway
This property is a perfect peaceful place if you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday life. You are a half an hour from shopping if need be and a 20 minute drive to a beach. The cottage has everything you will need for your stay from a fully stocked kitchen (complimentary coffee was nice!), full bedroom and bathroom linens to a beautiful backyard with a big firepit and a calm slow moving river (perfect for fishing). There is a kayak and a canoe (definitly take out and adventure!) The living room also has a TV with Netflix for movies! Communication was easy and quickly responded to. The only thing I would recommend is bringing bug spray for the mosquitos. I would not hesitate to return or recommend this to another cottage lover. Thank you again for a great relaxing stay!

Great Stay
Cottage - is larger than what I thought from the pictures. Large bedrooms with plenty of space to unpack. Kitchen/dining/living spaces are very comfortable. The cottage does not have AC but does have tower oscillating fans in each bedroom and living room. We were comfortable the entire time. Yard - also very large. Great outdoor dining. BBQ works very well but probably could use a heat resistant mat underneath due to the rust dropping from it. That would protect the newly painted deck too. The fire pit is amazing. Perhaps it's due to the proximity to the river but the smoke was sucked out towards the water rather than our faces. The reception for cells isn't great everywhere on the property but we found the hot spots and had no issues receiving or sending text messages. The property gets sun but it's still very shaded so we chased it a bit. River - I highly recommend exploring. Beautiful. The cleaner stopped by to drop a new brush off for the BBQ and advised that if we needed anything at all to contact the owner who would contact them and they could be there in minutes. I thought this was a very thoughtful touch. The owner was very responsive and accommodating.
