Perfect weekend getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at this house. The house was very clean and stocked with essentials. It felt very private and the family loved the hot tub! We would definitely rent this house again.

Lovely property, great amenities!
We had a wonderful stay. There were kayaks, hot tub, all there to use on the river. The bedrooms were very nice. We enjoyed the environment. The fall leaves were gorgeous. What a gem!

The worst thing about this place are the ramshackle buildings you have to pass on the lane to the cottage, but that's not within Cindy's control. Aside from that it was peaceful and serene and the hot tub was great! Cindy responded to our request for an extra night immediately, as well as to all emails.

Really enjoyed this house. Great front deck and nice hot tub around the back. Lots to do in the area. Perfect kitchen table to sit around and play games. Only wish we could've stayed longer than three nights to spend more time on the deck.

Weekend Getaway
We were looking for a comfortable accommodation near a lake or stream for the family to relax for the weekend. This filed the bill. Cindy responded quickly and with determination when we had problems with the WiFi which turned out to be related more to insufficient signal from our T-Mobile service.
