Summary: It is difficult trying to find the words to express this beautiful piece of paradise! You can see and feel it has been filled with so much love and memories! Cottage retreat has absolutely EVERYTHING you want and need, or didn't even think of. We had so much fun playing board games, video games, ping pong, but the highlight was being able to get straight onto the river from the house, and having so many different options of canoes, kayaks and standup boards. We LOVED it and can't wait to go back. Thank you for hosting us!
