We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage with our kids! The cottage was very comfortable, clean, and in a fantastic location. The area was peaceful, quiet, and felt very safe, which made it perfect for a family getaway.One of the highlights for the kids was having the river within walking distance—they were so excited to explore and spend time by the water. It was the perfect mix of relaxation for the adults and adventure for the kids.We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this cottage to families looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway. We would happily stay here again!

The cabin is adorable, well-stocked, and comfortable. Everything was clean. The composting, no smell toilet was great - well worth the high cost of installation. The river access point is only a 3.5 minute walk through a beautiful treed area. Daniel provided quick responses to questions. Looking forward to staying here again in the winter.
