Liked: Cleanliness
Suki is easy to get in touch with and very helpful. The space has many rooms and lots of beds. It was ideal for our party of 10. The walk to the water may be difficult for older renters. Dock is a beautiful place to sit on a hot summer day.

Liked: Cleanliness
Not enough chairs for dishes and utensils for 10 people. No dressers, bedside tables or table lamps in most BR. Stove wasn't working properly so we had to turn off the breaker when not in use. The BBQ wasnt useable. Completely rusted out. A hazard! The river was shallow (4' deep ?) and very weedy. Not swimable at all. The cottage was beautiful and wouldnt take alot of work to update to meet expectations.
