AWESOME TRIP

From check-in to check out, EVERYTHING WAS EXCEPTIONAL. Kim really did an amazing job at ensuring our family had a wonderful experience. This place was top notch. Great use of space. Smelled amazing, VERY CLEAN, almost everything was provided that a family could need which added to an even more relaxing trip! Kim responded to any questions we had during our visit and was very helpful with helping us navigate the area. The only downfall is that we didn't stay longer! Thank you so much for making this such a beautiful trip for our family!!! All the details that were paid attention to made the stay super family friendly and very welcoming! The dock and screen porch were super enjoyable. As far as possible suggestions, maybe a thermacell for the end of the dock, a little bit more dock lighting and some sort of adjustable shades for the screen porch.

The moment we walked in, we knew we weren't going to want to leave! What a find! This place had so many amenities, was beautifully decorated and everything was comfortable! If you're a nature, water or sunset lover, THIS is the place for you! Already missing our nightly sunsets from the dock and sitting out on the huge screened in porch listening to all the sounds from nature and smelling the pines. We did a lot of sightseeing/daytrips each day but made sure to be home for the sunsets! We will definitely be back! And, we'll definitely try out the kayaks and have a fire next time around. The minute we walked in the stress melted away and calm took over. Oh and one last thing, the neighborhood was very quiet and welcoming as was the town, everyone was very friendly.

Wonderful Cottage on the water

My wife and I had a wonderful week long stay at this cottage on Ferry Creek. We loved the location and found the house very comfortable. We enjoyed the dock where we caught a few crab, used the kayaks, and enjoyed sitting under the umbrella to read. We also loved the view from the house and having a screened in porch - the sunsets are great. We would love to stay again. Owners etc were responsive and have a great place.
