There is no one around. This is GREAT!! Long steps to the water, not so good. Ants, big ones, but not too many. House water never got hot, just warm. House water also stinks like sulfur.
We did enjoy ourselves - myself, wife, and two teenage girls. We recommend a trip to Hyner View to watch the sunset. Kayaking the river, 3 miles, took forever as the river runs slowly. I did fish from a kayak in the "cove" area and caught several small, small mouth bass. River was very low, I could walk the whole way across if I wanted to.
Cottage is nice, no wi-fi which was OK for me. There is NO privacy inside, so don't expect any. I enjoyed getting up every morning and having coffee and watching the river flow.
OH, we did see a bald eagle land down at the waters edge. I tried to get close to get pictures, but you know how that is.
We thank you for the use of the cottage. Unfortunately this is not a place where we would return.
