I wish that also. All the cottage use to but over the years people sold and didn't include the easement with the resale. If you come again we do have a boat dock which is a short walk form the cottage.

No one has every stated the water was low. It is a river and it does got by rain levels. Unfortunately we haven't had much rain this season. This not an issue we have control over. Will let the Mariana owner Know.

Cozy Cottage

We have family across the river but have outgrown staying with them as we have 3 kids and travel with our dogs. We needed our own space and this was perfect as we were right in between the parents and the brothers family. It’s sometimes hard to find places that accept pets so we greatly appreciate that! Comfortable and well appointed and had everything we needed. We will definitely be looking into staying again next time we are in town!

Relaxation Vacation

The cottage and property were clean and quaint. The views were lovely and the neighbors were kind. The entrance was via an open staircase. Our dogs took some practice to get used to this but it wasn't an obstacle. The owners were delightful. They answered all questions and all directions were easy to follow. Upon arrival we were greeted with a bottle of wine, cheese, and crackers. All attractions were nearby. We would definitely stay here again!
