Perfect spot

We had a great time in this perfect little spot. The rushing water offered a nice spot to sit on the deck and read. Within walking distance to Main Street and plenty of places to shop and eat.

Riverside Retreat

The charming cottage was cozy and comfortable! We didn't mind that the kitchen had no built in oven /rangetop because there were so many terrific restaurants in walking distance we wanted to try. The countertop microwave & oven were sufficient for our minimal cooking. Our only issue was a malfunctioning dryer - the mgmt responded quickly to our report of and attempted to fix it twice but its probably in need of replacement. Despite that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
