So peaceful!
We enjoyed out stay very much in February. It was so quiet and nice. Very very clean! Three generations of family came and loved. The sunroom with the view of the water was amazing and nice and toasty for our winter getaway. Thank you Diane and Harold for being so helpful, all the extra nice touches you added, and sharing your lovely cottage with us! We would love to visit again.

Beautiful and peaceful getaway
The property was beautiful and the location is peaceful, secluded, and relaxing. We loved the sun porch with a beautiful waterfront view of the bay. Perfect place for a quiet and relaxing stay while enjoying beautiful views and nature. We would definitely stay here again. House was spotless and lovely decor. Very comfortable and hosts provided lots of amenities and information about nearby restaurants and shops in town.

Outstanding and beautiful house!
Totally enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. Completely supplied with all the amenities, beautifully decorated, perfectly clean and charming home. We loved just sitting on the pier admiring the lovely view and sea birds. Great sunroom to enjoy the view also. Looking forward to coming back.

Relaxing Weekend Getaway
We had an excellent weekend getaway! The atmosphere was so relaxing and the home was beyond accommodating. Anything that we may have forgotten, it was provided. The house was very clean and organized. Definitely a 5 star rating! We would book again in the future.

Delicious breezes and two river views
We wanted (needed) peace and quiet and got that and more. The owners are pros and the house was a perfect “red cottage by the river”. Oh, and the adolescent Ospreys in their nest being cared for by their two parents was the riveting attraction.

Wonderfully peaceful
Our stay was absolutely beautiful. The home is perfectly organized, clean and so very well thought out. Diane and Harold have thought out everything you would want or need during your stay including lovely extra touches like fresh flowers and snacks. We used their kayaks and fire pit and loved reading in the sunroom. We hope to come back again!

Friends Weekend
I spent the weekend here with my high school friends for our annual weekend to hang out and reconnect. The setting was perfect and we remarked that the house looked even better in person than in the pictures. Wonderful place for a low-key relaxing weekend. We used one of the kayaks, the fire pit, and caught some crabs off the pier. Definitely thinking of returning some time.
