Perfect Relaxation Location
Beautiful location along the river, quiet and private. Close to stores for supplies. Kitchen fully stocked will everything you need to cook a variety of foods but the great BBQ and Blackstone are where the cooking's really at. Lovely inside the cottage, beds are super comfy. When it rained there was tons of games to chose from, good wifi and a great TV with steaming services. Outside is the best place of all, the deck, the dock, the fire pit. So many places to just relax. The water was wonderful to swim in and paddle boarding was attempted. The host is only a text/call away and happy to answer my questions. We had a fantastic long weekend despite the on and off rain.

My family and I would like to thank Johnny for sharing his piece of paradise, Rivermist Retreat. The cottage is fully updated, clean and had everything we needed for a week of quality family time. Johnny's attention to the needs of his guest was evident from the moment we stepped onto the property. There was fun for all ages with outdoor and indoor activities and games. The river was beautiful and wasn't too hard to paddle or peddle around. The water was very calm while we were there in August. We did spent most of our time on the dock and in the water. I would definitely recommend this cottage and Johnny as a host. Thank you again!

Well stocked and clean cottage very close to the lake. Comfortable beds and many gathering spaces. Incredible amenities with trampolines, kayak, floating devices. Great for groups and sleeps lots of people. Be prepared to see your neighbors, and for such a well stocked cottage there could be bath towels. Thank you for being a wonderful host and we hope to return again.

We had an amazing stay at Jhonny’s Rivermist Retreat. It is clearly observed that Jhonny had put a lot of thoughts and efforts in to the place. All the watercraft’s available are great to enjoy, the river behind is beautiful and bliss for swimmers. Kitchen is fully stocked as mentioned in listing. We would be definitely coming back!!

Fall retreat!
This cottage had everything we needed for our stay! The river was quite peaceful, we were there in the fall so probably not as busy as in the summer. The cottage was the perfect size for our group with everything being new and updated. Great stay, we hope to be able to enjoy it again!😊

Quiet location on a beautiful river, this location is perfect for whatever you’re looking for. My group spent time enjoying the canoe and kayaks, and even set up our own croquet set in their large yard. I highly recommend a weekend here. 10/10
