We wanted to visit the area in the fall, very beautiful. The cottage was perfect for two, all the amenities as listed. We were the only ones in the area, as there's other cottages on the property. We had to use the dual a/c- heaters in the living area & bedroom due to cool weather; they both have remote controls for easy use. Pay heed to the rocky road from the highway to the cottage; not meant for a low lying car! Signage at the highway for the turn off road could be better; look for mailbox with fish plus there's a cemetery sign as well. Definitely arrive in daytime, not dark as it is pitch black at night; its very remote. About 1/2 way on road, theres a dead end sign, but keep going; as soon you'll see Fireside Retreat sign alongside the road; each cottage has its own little sign posted on a tree or pole to direct you.
Theres train tracks along the river with occasional train; we had 2 come by in the daytime during our stay. We truly enjoyed our quiet, secluded stay!
