Let me start by saying that Heather, the property owner, is fantastic. She let us know that we could arrive earlier than check-in, which we greatly appreciated. The cottage is very much off the beaten path disconnected from everything but nature. I hadn't realized how much I needed to disconnect from technology until my stay here. I will admit though that without being able to text or call started to drive me crazy by week's end. We had literally no bars on our cell phones but could at least still receive emails. This was no fault of Heather. The cottage is dated and needs some decorating love, in my opinion, but it was very clean which is so important. And, the washer and dryer were fantastic as was the bed in the master. We loved taking the river floating excursion one day and loved bird watching from the back deck as well. My only complaint would have to be the little apartment in the garage directly behind the cottage. It was empty when we arrived (as was the house directly next door) but we did get word that relatives would be arriving early afternoon Wednesday. The apartment is in such close proximity to the cottage that you didn't have a whole lot of privacy as that person had to walk right by the living room windows to get to the apartment. Had I known this prior to our booking, I likely would not have gone through with renting the cottage. I know we may not be like typical travelers but we really love privacy while on vacay. Also, we love the water. The view was great to watch the people float by daily but the river current flows too quickly to be able to swim. We were able to sit in Adirondack chairs with feet in the water but really wished we could have swam. Just something to keep in mind. Thank you, Heather for the hospitality and for sharing your piece of nature with us.
