About this property
Enchanted Mermaid Cottage~Fire pit~Great backyard
This is a small piece of treasure on an island of relaxation. A beautiful magical cottage with a fabulous outdoor entertaining area where you can sit on the covered deck or by the fire pit to gaze at the stars. Our cottage is fully equipped to make you feel right at home. Our home is 2 bedroom, and 1 bathroom that sleeps 6 guests. Perfect place for a quick getaway to watch a college game, or to float the river. We also welcome long term rentals for those looking to get out of the crazy city life. limited parking and unfortunately there is no street parking out front, 2-4 cars can fit per size.
