Whether you are a morning person or a night person enjoy your coffee or wine while taking in the sunrise or sunset that is simply to die for. Bring your boat or jet skis or message me about rentals. There is amazing deep clear water for swimming and fishing. The fishing, wildlife and flora are contiguous. Stay in a place with some history. The cottage was originally the Canadian Customs house. The original name of the house was “Thelma". It was then owned by an author named Eleanor Austin and referred to as the Driftwood for 20 years. The Thelma is featured on TripAdviser. The new name is the Jemh en al Rio. We tried to keep the originality and charm of the cottage while adding some modernization. The Cottage boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 kitchen areas, a feature coffee bar for all your coffee, tea and smoothie needs, a dining area for 10 or more, a large sitting area with astonishing views of the river and a large recreational room with pool table, foose ball, dart board, arcade and lots of games.
