Lovely little cottage on a gorgeous stretch of river
We stayed at the cottage over Easter wknd and had an absolutely lovely time. It was chilly outside but so cozy and warm indoors. We got out for a few hikes and played along the river's edge, had a few campfires and enjoyed the supply of boardgames and dvds. We hope to come back again soon. Maybe next time in warmer weather so we can play in the river!

We just got back from the weekend stay at this beautiful cottage. It was very quiet and the place is very secluded so there is a complete privacy. We really liked that there were several places outside where we could sit and relax. In this way, each couple had their own space to sit and enjoy the view. We fished from the dock. The most successful fishing is in the evening, after 5 pm. The place is clean, warm and has everything you wish for.

Disappointing
Really wasn't anywhere to relax and read a book outside or limited options to sit in, water (river) was very weedy and we ended up getting what the pharmacists in town called swimmers itch from the river. The cottage is quite dark and set back in trees so limited light wasn't ideal. Overall very mediocre and really limited water activities to take part in with the weedy shallow water.

Cute cottage
Wonderful little cottage with everything you could possibly need. Location was perfect! The river location was fun and we highly recommend using the water rings. Communication with the host was excellent and we definitely book again if we were in the area.

Awesome Getaway
Had an amazing time! It was very private and the sound of the river was wonderful. We had beautiful campfires went tubing, fishing, swimming and enjoyed movies and games inside and outdoors. The host was awesome and so helpful. Great little gem!

Beautiful, cozy cottage
Our family if 5 had a fantastic stay. The cottage was well kept, well stocked and had that cozy cottage feel. The property was beautiful and was so quiet and peaceful. The hosts were fantastic, providing us with a great welcome package and always quick to answer any questions we had. Added bonus of being close to 2 towns if you need to grab anything. Overall excellent experience.

Relaxing, quiet, scenic retreat
The property is clean and well stocked for what you need on the inside and outside. Every year I choose a place and go on a solo adventure. Karen and Peter's cottage as well as the area did not disappoint! Karen was extremely helpful with questions prior to my arrival, they leave a super informative packet upon arrival and are readily available for additional questions. It was a great place to relax, write music, grill out, read... all of it. Great hiking spots nearby as well. The property and the trails were postcard worthy. I highly recommend this spot.
