Rosemarie was very responsive and easy to get a hold of. Check in process was very easy, had a great time relaxing on the river. Our two dogs had a great time as well. Cottage had all the essentials we needed. We will be visiting again. Also just an fyi there is a neighbor right next door with a dog, but they are also friendly and were gone most of the time.
