Cute, comfy cottage. Beds were comfortable, which for me, means soft. Firm beds hurt me, so I was happy. We had a nice relaxing time, and were able to make meals in the kitchen. Most of what you need for simple meals is available. We brought food in and grilled on the BBQ, though we did not find the grill brush until we were leaving (someone had left it on the back deck in an out of the way location). We did not end up using the kayaks, unfortunately. There were no life jackets that we could find, and we weren't willing to take the risk of boating without them.It was easy to contact the owner through VRBO, but she also provided contact info.Very nice neighborhood along a river. We saw lots of deer, and turtles crossing the roads. Lots of birds, too. We enjoyed birding at the local wildlife areas. Princeton has a wonderful bakery where we got delicious coffee and treats. Didn't make it to the antique stores but they do have two. I liked this cute little town. I prefer smaller towns and places that are rural or wild areas, so this was very nice.Only issue with the cottage was that the water in the bathroom sink would not get warm. Had to wash my face in the kitchen. I guess I'll survive, LOL! Notified the owner so they can do whatever needs to be done about it. There is a tankless hot water heater, which is nice, because it means there will be plenty of hot water if you have a number of people staying there.

We loved every minute there! Great location, perfect for wildlife viewing, water sports and relaxing!

Small things matter

The place is clean and well kept. But some suggestions: No USB ports. Rooms are not very well lit. So a floor light for reading would be nice. No bench or stool for a suitcase. No dresser for for clothes. No night light in the bathroom. We did not find the charcoal for the grill. The cabin is advertised for 4 people but only 3 chairs at the table.

A special treat in the cabin by the water

Oh, the kayaks were a special treat - we were lucky to enjoy a mystical mist on the water, and many cranes, and even some deer! I do not give it a full five stars because we were not able to lock the back door (made me uneasy) and I wished we had hand- and dish-towels in the kitchen. (The dish rack was unfortunately hidden under a wet handtowel. Did the last person to clean quickly throw the towel under the sink?) Otherwise the cabin felt clean and comfortable, and looked great!

Simple Country

The wife grew up “in the country on acres of land”. She moved us to downtown Chicago last year, but requires a trip back into to the “country” for the peace of nature, the sound of night time bugs, the fresh cool air, and abundant wildlife. Riverfront Cottage exceeded both of our expectations for peace and calm. Not only was it easy to get to from so many directions, but also much appreciated pavement and NO gravel roads! The neighbors may have had dogs, who knows, we never heard a single one bark. Two nights we slept with all the windows open, overhead fans quietly running, and the fresh air was restorative. There were so many birds to watch and listen to, grey and black squirrels to watch harvest the nuts, turkeys and deer scattered about, and never a sight nor smell of cattle! On the water kayaking by 6:45 am and blown away by how close we got to the Sandhill cranes and the curious turtles in the water. The kitchen description prepared us for what we could use and what we should consider bringing. Packed in spices, extra storage containers, pre-made dessert, and groceries/charcoal for 3 meals on the grill and dinning in, all but once. Perfect reset away from people and nearby to WI State parks for hiking (Devil’s Lake hiking is a Must!), many lakes for viewing or dinning nearby. Possible considerations; the master bedroom bed is soft, comfortable for some, but not firm. Also, no dresser or closet for unloading the suitcase in the master bedroom.

Cozy and Spotless!

I rented this adorable cottage for the weekend just to have a little reset and a break from the relentlessness of motherhood (my kids are 8 and 3.5). It was absolutely perfect for me, although it could certainly have accommodated my whole family! The bed I used was super comfy and the whole cottage was thoughtfully decorated and clean. It was really too cold to go outside, but the views were lovely. Great shower water pressure and the tap water tasted great! One word of caution: the kitchen is pretty bare bones, lacking amenities such as a colander, a bottle of olive or veggie oil, etc. If you plan to cook here, bring your own gear.
