More like a hotel then home away from home

The location was beautiful and the house clean. We had a good stay over all. Check in was easy and the amnesties in the immediate area were great. I will say this is more like a hotel than a home. We cooked every meal in the cabin and it was lacking essentials like cooking oil, spices, enough silverware, non peeling pans, etc. I imagine this listing would cater to people who are eating most every meal out.

Great location

We spent a long weekend hiking the nearby state parks. This location is great! The neighborhood was cute and the views on the river were stellar. The Red Dog Grill was close and convenient with good food/drinks. My only complaint was lack of a place to hang coats, etc.

Peaceful retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was charming and clean. We went for long walks around the marina, it was beautiful. We wanted to pass on that there weren't enough paper products at the cottage, and we had to go and purchase our own. And, so sorry, my husband and I have what looks like spider bites all over. We assume it's from the mattress. We just wanted to inform you of that!
