This was the perfect property for three couples and two dogs to relax, kayak, and enjoy a week together. It is a beautiful location on the water. We highly recommend it!
This was the perfect cottage for our weekend! The view was just lovely and the house had everything we needed. We had the best time and can’t wait to come back!
Peaceful, rather remote, with extraordinary totally fenced in lot of about a full acre. Never had such peace-of-mind for my active dog. Small gravel area allows easy access (in low tide) to river - which is more like a calm lake.
Extremely well supplied and clean kitchen. Wonderful to have access to kayaks, if you have 2 strong folks to carry them to the water. Loved the fire-pit.
We were extremely pleased with the property!! We were there for a fishing tournament and we had plenty of parking and felt completely safe leaving our rods and electronics out on the boats!! Quiet neighborhood and a great view of the lake!!!
The property and cottage was even better than the pictures show! It was clean, well-stocked, and the floor plan was very nice to enjoy great views of the river inside and outside of the house. The sunrises were beautiful and evening camp fires for making Smore’s was a hit! The one acre fenced in yard was heavenly for our young Cavapoo to explore daily. The stand up paddleboards and several board games were a nice addition to our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and had terrific roads for riding our bicycles. Jen was a fantastic host and very responsive! Thank you for helping us make wonderful family memories!!
We had a wonderful time. We were celebrating a family birthday. Cottage is lovely and well stocked with everything you need to relax and enjoy yourselves.
The listing said 2 beds in each room, but that's not accurate. There is 1 bed in each room and bed in a bag that you can set up for someone to sleep on, but there isn't much room to set up one or more.
We weren't able to have a fire in the firepit due to the dry season, which we weren't aware of when we booked the location and would've been good to know.
Lake view is beautiful. Neighborhood is very quiet.
House was great! Check in was super easy and owner was very flexible. It’s nice to stay in a place that the owner has clearly spent time in, because the house had everything you could need. The fenced in property was awesome for us and our 3 dogs! We came during a crazy hot week. The window ac kept up better than the floor units, but honestly we were fine. Loved having direct access to the water and the kayaks and paddle boards were a blast. The “creek” is more like a quiet lake with minimal to no boat traffic, and calm but deep water. Overall we had a peaceful and relaxing week and our dogs got to live their best lives with us. Thank you so much for allowing all 3. The week wouldn’t be the same without them ❤️
