Cute, very clean and cozy small (but adequate) 1-room cottage with its own patio below. Nicely decorated, had snacks and quick breakfast items too. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom a bit tight and the only sink to use was in the kitchenette area. Lighting to put on makeup could have been better. Hosts were prompt to reply and very helpful! I would consider this cottage again.

Excellent accommodations after a long day. Incredible view of the river from the room. It was very clean and cozy, lots of natural light and privacy. We watched the sunrise over the river, making our morning that much more special. It was perfect.
