The property is very close to town and right on the water. The only thing that was a minor issue is the thermostat is hard to control. Overall it is a great place to stay. ##### Tony M.

Oct 19, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great Experience The tiny home was a great and fun experience. The overall layout was well planned out and fit our family of 4 perfectly. The hot tub and back porch were very relaxing and enjoyable. The only negative was the cleanliness. Our socks were dirty just walking on the floors and there were cobwebs all over inside and out. ##### Dan L. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teri N. May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect tiny house cottage We loved the property! Close to everything, walkable to downtown and loved the hot tub facing the river. Home was clean, well equipped and private. Highly recommend ##### Teri N. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Matt F. Nov 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Communication #### Looks can be deceiving The cabin was small but nice. Short drive to train station. But the beds are terrible. You are either freezing cold downstairs, and unbearable hot in the loft. The electric fireplace didnt work, and they have speakers blasting Christmas music all night long for some reason. It ruined my whole family's night sleeps, and the owners didnt seem to care much about it when i told them. We wi never boom here again. ##### Matt F.
