Summary: Lovely place! It's a super cute place to stay with everything we needed. The only thing I would let others know is that there is no dock as of our stay in June 2025. Getting down to the water isn't the easiest its pretty steep so we didnt get to enjoy the river like I had hoped when I originally booked it.
