Perfect Walk to Town, but Private location

We enjoyed being so close to everything and having such a great porch to enjoy the sounds of the river. The house feels secluded in the mountains, but it is right downtown. We suggest you walk to breakfast at the Blue Bike Cafe one morning.

We had a great time and the cottage was perfect for our needs! When we arrived, the porches had a lot of debris from the outside and on the furniture but a text to the property manager resolved it promptly! A wonderful woman came over and completely cleaned it all for us and we were able to enjoy the beautiful weather and our 18 month old granddaughter could play on the porch with us! We were grateful for the service and kindness!
