The Cottage

Built simple. Kept honest.

Two bedrooms, one bath, a kitchen that's been cooking river breakfasts for the better part of a century. The deck wraps the side that faces the water, and the screen door slams the way it should.

All photos & floorplan
01

Wrap-around deck

South and west exposures. Adirondack chairs, fire bowl, and a rail you can rest a coffee cup on.

River-facing
02

Private river frontage

2+ acres on the water with a sturdy dock and two dock chairs. The boathouse and docks sit at the bottom of a stoned path behind the main house.

03

Full kitchen

Gas range, full-size fridge, dishwasher, drip coffee, cast iron, and a knife sharp enough to fillet what you bring back.

Stocked

Two bedrooms, sleeps five

Queen + twins, with an oversized couch in the living room for an extra guest. Linens fresh, blankets thick, no shoes on the rugs.

Outdoor space with rod racks, waders pegs, a fly-tying bench under the window, and a chest freezer for the catch.

What guests say

Nine years of five stars, and counting.

Real names, real dates, no edits. The pattern in them is the same one we hear at the dock — people come for the river and stay for the quiet.
