Great Location, the cottage is beautifully decorated and very comfortably furnished. Being able to lounge by the river or take out one of many kayaks puts this stay on the top of our list.
We had such a a relaxing stay! Patti and Dave were very warm and welcoming and have a cottage that was clean and well equipped to make us feel right at home. We would love to come back again and stay there!
Patti and Dave made sure everything was perfect for our arrival. This cottage is so cozy, from the warm fireplace, the well stocked kitchen and being right on the river was so amazing!
We had a very good stay at this cottage. The owner was responsive and helpful throughout the whole trip. He even was able to give us a boost when my car battery died.We enjoyed using the bikes and canoes
Little charming cottage, great Hostess Patti & Dave, clean, amenities & little lovely touches of Love that Patti has put in the decor.in back By the river in back with canoe, kayak to use. Like old Florida when you sit by river. The only down side was how close traffic noise was. We had a relaxing enjoyable stay.
I stayed here to visit with my daughter who lives in the area. I was able to work using the very good wifi. Very clean, very comfortable and excellent communication with the hosts. My favorite part was sitting on the deck watching and listening to all of of the birds!the b
We had such a wonderful stay. The cottage was lovely with lots of activities and things to do. The view of the backyard and the river was absolutely delightful, peaceful and breathtaking. Great location. We will definitely be back soon
This is our second time staying in this lovely cottage just 3 blocks from where my brother's home is. We are planning on returning again next year. There are so many activities that you can do. One of our favorites was riding our bikes on the paved trail just a couple of blocks from the cottage.
Fantastic stay!! Such a great place! All the amenities one could want and the most beautiful river ever! We loved the paddle boat!!! The cottage was beautiful, perfect and lovely! Thank you Patti and Dave!! THE BEST!
My little dog peanut and I had a wonderful stay! The hosts are wonderful people. Cottage is very private and backyard feels very private. Well stocked for lots of fun on the water.
Dave and Pattie were very nice and pleasant. The cottage was nice and clean. We took the kayaks out and fished a bit as well as drove around to find some antique shops/thrift stores.
This place is a little piece comfy cozy. It has all the amenities you need and is half an hour away from grocery stores. Patti and Dave always kept in touch with us to make sure that we had everything we needed. We really appreciated how they went the extra mile to make sure that our home away from home was enjoyable and hope to book again for next year!
This was our second year here and it felt good to be "home"! This VRBO is very clean and you have everything you need. We enjoyed the bicycles, kayaks, and canoe and watching the birds off the deck. The hosts are friendly and very helpful.
The location for biking, hiking and kayaking is perfect. The property is spotless. The deck, grill and backyard are perfect to kick back after a hard day.
Very clean and pleasant little cottage. Had everything we needed and then some. Had a very relaxing stay, fishing, painting, and enjoying the all the birds in the back yard. The river was beautiful, caught a few fish, and even saw an otter. The hosts Dave and Patty were available if needed and very nice. We loved our stay.
We celebrated our anniversary by spending a few days away from town. This was a great place to re-connect with mother nature and find some quiet time. Access to the canoes, kayaks, river and bike trail made all the difference for our stay. The Cottage itself was very comfortable and generously supplied. Take a break and stay here!

Pleasant and helpful owners. Definitely recommended.
This is our second stay at the Dreamcatcher Cottage. Once again, we were impressed with the cleanliness of the cottage. The setting is so peaceful, right on the river. Well we didn’t utilize any of the available amenities such as kayaks or bikes, the fact that they are available at no additional cost is really great. Highly recommend Dreamcatcher Cottage!
The cottage was right on the river w amazing views of the Forrest. We kayaked and used the paddle boat. We biked on the trail that was close by and enjoyed this beautiful cottage. The owner provided everything to make our stay perfect. The linens were top notch as well as pots and pans. We did some cooking since no restaurants were open near by. Great retreat.
