Quick getaway and Anniversary trip

Beautiful place. Very peaceful but not too far from town. I bet it would be fun in the summer with kids because there was a ladder on the deck for the river. The host always answered my questions quickly. It had everything you need for a restful vacay

Peaceful location with great river view

Great location on the Cane River, close to town. Neighbors close but quiet. Wi-Fi and cable tv. Everything worked. We liked the ceramic tile floors. Small issues: shower very small, no bathroom exhaust.

The Cottage was precious!! My daughters and I stayed the weekend for the Christmas festival. We had some friends staying downtown. The cottage was the perfect meeting place, we were able to cook and visit. The beds were comfortable. Plenty of pots, pans, dishes, towels, and bed lines. Only a 10 min drive to downtown. There was a dollar store and little store with groceries 2 mins away. We couldn't have had a better time.

Good Fishing with Some Issues

House was as advertised. Fishing was great. We caught over 70 bream. Only one garbage bag was supplied. The dishwasher was broken. The TV in the main bedroom was not working right. These issues would not be particularly important except for the fact that the rate was $275 a night. Otherwise, the location, views and fishing were very nice.
