Amazing secluded location right on the river. We loved the remote get away and the property was truly spectacular. Even though we stayed during a major storm we couldn't have had a better time on the property and exploring the gardens. Only 20 minutes from town it was still easy to access groceries and restaurants but we felt a world away from city chaos. We would love to visit Magic Cottage again !
