Not only was the location ideal, but the included amenities were well thought out. Our host was always available, the neighborhood was quiet, the property immaculate, and the cottage itself was quite spacious and clean with all updated appliances. Highly recommend!

This home was beautiful inside and out! The timeless decor throughout the home was it feel so cozy. My daugther (adult) and I didn't want to leave! I was quite content hanging on the back porch, swinging while watching tv and enjoying the sounds of nature. The walking path behind the property was perfect for an evening stroll towards the main strip with shops, restaurants, and an ice cream place. Lots of options in the area of this home. We will rent here again for sure!

We loved Riverside Cottage. It was as promoted and more. Details that we loved include the following:- the ample porch swing on the lanai- the coffee and tea supplies - the outside spaces; in addition to the lanai, a small outside porch on the side of the cottage and a deck on the stream- the proximity to downtown, truly a short and lovely walk through the parkThanks to the host for thoughtful details and a generous, well-stocked cottage. We experienced significant travel delays/hassles and the owners were so accommodating to our needs. Would stay here and recommend this cottage to others in a heartbeat.
