Perfect rustic cottage

The cottage was very cute and rustic. It's perfect for someone who loves to fish. We would love to stay here again in the future.

The property was very cool with all the memorabilia, incredibly clean. The 2 bedrooms were very tiny couldnt put luggage in and the bathroom very small but clean but I must say the shower was quite challenging being so small. The town was quite small and with nothing around but gives you a very quiet and relaxing ambiance.

Cabin was a great alternative than the hotels - afforded additional space both inside and outside of the cabin for the kids to enjoy. The cabin and area is spectacular - right beside the river! Would have liked to have had access to wash machine/dryer but we were able to air things out on the deck between games.
