Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff P. 26 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host, Emie, was very responsive during our stay and even before. The cottage itself is immaculate, very well furnished and equipped with quality appliances. Unfortunately our late October visit and the weather didn't allow us to take advantage of the variety of outdoor equipment available. But we had several pleasant walks along the river and chats with the local neighbours.I'd highly recommend a stay here. ##### Jeff P. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 ---
