Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The cottage was great! Very spacious, clean and pet friendly. The location was perfect as well right on Torch River. We enjoyed paddling around in the kayaks and swimming in the river. It was also just a short drive from the boat launch where our pontoon rental was delivered. Alden was just a short drive as well with cute shops and delicious food at Alden Bar! The cottage was perfect for our quick getaway.
