Quiet Relaxation and Hiking
Precious little cottage that was decorated so cute! Loved all the leaves and birds: chickadees, tufted titmouse, woodpeckers, geese, and saw a deer on our way out. Located close to Wilhemenia State Park for hiking. Wish we had time to stay another day or 2. We loved it. Forced us to not rely on our phone or streaming and enjoy nature.

It was okay
The place was good but defiantly not worth the money because the house is so small and they charge way to much for a cleaning fee and night fee as someone who use to have a rental this was very pricy also the canoes have mold in them and the water was to low to do that stuff and be aware that it’s a duplex so there are people connected to the other side of you again the place was cute and clean but I wouldn’t say it was worth it for the price because the tv didn’t even work it had really bad connection!
