Let's chat!** Adding to the charm of the stay, the surrounding farm is a working farm. So, depending on the time of year, you could see tractors, plows, mowers and even planes watering/fertilizing the crops. We will always alert guests of anything notable, but mostly it’s just a fun situation to be immersed in a real life operating farm. To get down to the river, follow the path that passes the cottage. Pass the barns on the right and and left and it will intersect with a road. Take a left on that road and follow it down to the river. This is a 5 minute bike ride from the cottage and a 15-20 minute walk downhill. This will take you to Lawrence Lewis Park Jr. Park, a great place to fish and take in wildlife. There is also a covered picnic area to gather with large groups while the kids run around. To reiterate, the owners live in another house on the property (the house you'll see as you approach the property down the driveway), but don't worry, no one will bother you and privacy is a priority. They have two very friendly dogs that roam free, so, if you plan to bring a pet, keep that in mind. Trust us, they love food, but please don't feed them :-) Outdoor patio offers: - Charcoal grill - Firepit - Incredible views of the sunset over the farm - String lights and seating for memorable evenings with twilight with family and friends Guest access Smartlock.
