Summary: This cottage was amazing. We had the best time sitting around the fire pit by the river and kayaking up and down the river, also. The water was so clear, and it was a very nice place to stay. I highly recommend them, and we will definitely be planning to book there again when we are in the area. The stairs leading down to the river are very steep (as mentioned in the posting description), but other than that, it was great.
