"It was a nice enough place. The river view was nice. But it was pretty rainy so we didn't get to take advantage of it. It was good to have our own little cottage...and not having to hear sounds from other rooms. It was a bit out dated, and two of the outlets didn't work well. They did have free wifi that worked well, and a good selection of channels on the TV."
