Beautiful Home

We had a lovely stay. Very nice layout and the riverviews were amazing! We really enjoyed it overall. Only recommendations I’d make is to add a toilet paper holder on the 1st floor, have maybe less cups/dishes so it leaves some open cabinetry for storing pantry items, and to make sure dishes are clean (we discovered many in the dish drawer that were crusted with food). But certainly wasn’t a big deal, we would stay here again all over again! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Amazing place!

"On the Rocks" cottage was amazing. The village is adorable and so cute. Neighbors were all very friendly. All staff was helpful and professional. The house .... I didn't want to leave. It looked and smelled like a brand new home. We had an amazing time and I highly recommend.
