What a beautiful, peaceful, tranquil getaway! This sweet little cottage is the perfect respite to enjoy time away. The screened in porch is wonderful and the hosts are friendly and hospitable, while also not encroaching. If you have the ability, treat yourself with a canoe ride down the river!

Loved the nature and history of the property. The home was comfortable and well cared for. Great personal touches. Especially enjoyed the screened in porch overlooking the waterfall. Grimsley was a graciously attentive host. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!
