My friends and I had a lovely stay! We loved sitting on the dock and looking out at the gorgeous river. We didn’t end up swimming at the river (instead we drove 7 minutes to a nearby beach) or taking the kayaks out but one definitely could if they wished! The fire pit was perfect in the evening to catch up and relax. The cottage was tidy and fairly clean, but the floors were a bit dirty (we just wore socks most of the weekend). Lots of sleeping spaces for a group— the king bedroom was especially lovely with the en suite bathroom. All in all we had a great stay and would definitely consider coming back!

The house is wonderful. It is set up well as a short term rental. There was plenty of room for everyone and a variety of activities to do. I did not give a 5/5 rating as we did not feel that the dock was up to the same level of quality as the rent of the house and property. A key reason that we rented this house was to explore the Burnt River by kayak. We even brought our own kayaks so that there would be 4 available kayaks. However, we felt is was very hard to get in and out of a kayak from the available dock. As a result, only one out our party of 5 actually went kayaking. Based on my measurements, the lowest part of the dock was still about 21” above the water level. There were no available steps or ladder to assist. Fingers were pinched due to loose deck boards when attempting to get out of the kayak. We observed that about half of the dock was actually further up out of the water than the mentioned 21” and sloped away from the water’s edge. As mentioned, this is a wonderful house and we would love to return next year. However, we would need to know that the the river could more easily be accessed.
