The house is beautiful and more than accommodating for two sets of adults. It was nice, peaceful, and quiet. The patio was lit away, the peaceful sit outside and listen to the birds and little creatures in the morning! Overall, perfect stay!

Cozy waterfront gem

Mary was an incredible host! So welcoming and communicative. The property was perfect for relaxing with family and friends. We enjoyed walks to the river, coffee in the morning on the deck, and evenings playing games inside and on the deck. Comfortable beds, plenty of comfortable seating, and well stocked kitchen for cooking meals. We couldn’t ask for a better space or host.

Family Time by the River

This property has a great spot on the river. We enjoyed swimming and fishing right behind the house. Martindale is a super cute town that is an easy walk from the house. The stores were closed on our M/Tu visit, but would be a fun spot to wander on the weekend.

Relaxing weekend

We absolutely enjoyed our time here. The town was amazing! It provides great food at Martindale River Cafe, live music, and friendly community members. We loved the back porch on this property and private section of the river. The groundskeeper made sure we were safe, and the owners were so nice. Don’t skip on this one! It was perfect!

Semi-Annual Adventure 2023

Pleasant neighborhood and landlady. The home was perfect for our stay. The lake view is now very limited from the home due to growth of the beautiful trees, but easily accessible. It was so quiet I thought I could hear a pin drop. Birds begin the day by singing, so you can sit on the porch and listen to them and the river. Main Street has a couple of businesses, and is also quiet. We really enjoyed our stay!

Serene

First of all Ms Mary was incredibly sweet. The place is exactly as said. River views with a damn/spill way you could see through the trees but could hear it so well. Very cozy. Very clean. We put it back the way we found it except I forgot to trash the coffee grounds. I highly recommend this charming cottage. And I will be going back. Many thanks to Ms Mary.
