My girlfriend and I had a fantastic weekend at this charming cottage. The location by the river is so peaceful and beautiful. The house was spotless and cozy. Chad is a wonderful and incredibly understanding host who really cares about his guests' experience. We highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway.

This property sits in a cozy area close to the town of Bedford. My stay consisted of 5 days that were amazing. The check in was smooth. The cottage was clean and everything we needed was provided. We did ask beforehand if a washer and dryer was provided, which it was not. But this was not a big deal because the laundromat was 2 minutes away. It seems like everything was within a mile or two from the cottage.The property is beautiful and has charm. The river sits on the back and if you enjoy fishing or just being outside this is a great choice for you or the family.

My friend and I needed a place to stay after attending a wedding shower and this place worked out perfect. Great location, clean, communication with Chad was easy, great beds and super soft sheets. The coffee bar, water and snacks for us were enjoyable. It was close to town and to everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

I have attempted to reach out to this guest concerning her negative review on Location Accuracy with no response. I contacted VRBO support to assist me in this matter also. I have never received a negative review and would like to offer help or insight on this matter with the guest. I was never contacted during the arrival that they had any concerns or complaints. I check on my guests during and upon departure to ensure they enjoyed their stay. I wish they would’ve contacted me before the review was left and I would’ve compensated accordingly.

This cabin is certainly charming. It is wonderfully supplied by the thoughtful hosts who are very easy to contact. It is only about a 6-minute ride to downtown Bedford. It is a large property with lots for families to do. There is a roomy deck and a fire pit for outdoor activities. The beds are very comfortable.

We couldn't have been happier with this rental! The property was exactly as described and was a very homey alternative while in town for a wedding. The amenities were thoughtfully considered, which is always an added bonus! The coffee and tea bar, the snacks, and the disposable makeup wipes are just a few of the thoughtful considerations provided by the owners. The property is beautiful and well maintained. We were thrilled with this find, and would be glad to stay again when we are in the area!

Chad was very responsive and helpful when we thought a breaker flipped and the heater wouldn't turn on-the breaker did flip and it was an easy fix. He followed up the next day to check that everything was going well. The coffee bar and provided snack tray were both adorable and very appreciated. It was pretty cold so we didn't sit outside, but the firepit area and deck were both really nice. We're hoping to make it back during warm weather to take advantage of the outdoor space!

Thank you for the very kind and appreciative review. It was a pleasure hosting you and glad we conquered the breaker issue together and it was an easy fix. Contractors, the day before arrival, stained the back deck and must have tripped the breaker. Problem was solved immediately! Welcome back anytime!

This place was adorable. There was plenty of heat/air/ceiling fans to keep the home comfortable. There were things that we thought added a nice touch such as bottled water and some treats. There was a binder of restaurants that was very helpful as we ended up going to one and thoroughly enjoyed it. We utilized the fire pit and it was so nice and cozy. Everything was clean and neat and quaint. Check-in instructions were clear. The enclosed porch was also nice for someone who isn’t a fan of bugs but still likes to see the outdoors. The location was great. It was secluded but so close to everything we went to. I would highly recommend this location especially for the Fall Festival. I only have 1 photo of the stay but it is a good one.
