"Cottage Home On The River" 1 Bedroom

This was our second visit. We had amazing experience again and It feels like a sanctuary being there. Thank you Marwin.

Host was welcoming. Amenities were as advertised. Wonderful spot with lots of wildlife. Birds, squirrels and deer.

The pictures of this property do not do it justice. It is modern and spacious. The windows facing the rear yard and Speed River make the environment open and just as relaxing as sitting in the backyard. It is truly a special getaway. I was able to walk to the mill run trail and took it about 3 MI to the West and back. It is very close to lots of businesses and other amenities while feeling like you are in the middle of the Woods.

This is a very lovely place and exceptionally clean (except mold on the outside of shower door) and it is mostly as advertised. When I called and asked if we needed to supply wood for the fireplace (which I assumed was wood-burning owing to the fire screen in the photo), I was told that the fireplace was fueled by propane. Disappointment, but okay. When we arrived it was the clear that the fireplace was not useable — vents taped shut and blankets stuffed around the box of the fireplace. I texted owner and asked what the secret was to turning on the fireplace and was told propane was turned off (she did not tell me this when I spoke to her —you decide what to make of that). It seems clear that this is not a working fireplace. Can you tell we were really were looking forward to nights in front of the fire?The chairs surrounding the fireplace are rotting. We did bring wood to build a fire in firepit which is near the beautiful rushing river — the sound of which is greatly muted by the traffic sound from the nearby 401. (To be fair we did not notice the traffic on the deck.)The ice dispenser on the refrigerator is broken and there were no ice cubes nor anyway to make any. Should you wish beverage in a tall glass with ice, bring both. Otherwise the kitchen is exceptionally well stocked even with a good variety of stemware, but only one red wine glass.Having said all of that and if none of it matters to you, this is a great place. We booked 3 nights and stayed one.
