Perfect cottage-perfect setting.

If you're looking to kick back, be close to flowers and birds, and be in peace and quiet, then this is your place! The property is like a picture card. A very pastoral setting. Great care has obviously been taken to create a true home away from home, with all the right modern touches mixed in with the cottage decor. Loads of natural light pour through the windows, and a high ceilings, lend a sense of spaciousness. There is more than enough porch space to enjoy, with lots of outdoor seating and loads of cushions and blankets for cool nights. Of course there is also a barbeque with all of the tools, etc. You won't have to bring a thing with you, because everything from home is provided in this space; thoughtfully prepared and placed. It was fun to choose a bicycle for a ride along the trails, and a lunch visit to the nearby pub restaurant. The water at the river is very gentle, and perfect for kayaking. A fabulously, comfortable king size bed, and a sofa and chaise lounge that opens to a bed for two more people. If you want a bit of seclusion away from the rush of life, but you still want to connect with warm friendly people, this has just the right blend for you. The hosts are wonderful, folks who are so sweet, friendly and helpful. They were always easily available and very responsive to any questions or needs, but respectful of your privacy and need for quiet, if that's what you're looking for. This property knocks it out of the park for us. We will definitely return!

We loved Deb's cabin and her hospitality. Everything was well taken care of and there were a lot of thoughtful touches. The area was quiet and the river off their property was very calm. I would recommend this to friends and family, it was very relaxing staying here.

A True Fairytale :)

100000/10 recommend! The hosts Deb and Joe made every effort to ensure we enjoyed our stay. From thoughtful recommendations, to taking pictures for us, and even sending us over a basket of fresh garden veggies. We got engaged during our stay, something that will remain in our hearts forever. We would have it no other way!! The cottage is beautiful, well stocked, clean, and convenient for a short or longer stay as we had. The fully equipped kitchen with complimentary coffee made for a lovely touch as we are caffeine fiends. An A/C unit in the bedroom was graciously welcomed as it was peak summer heat! The property is stunning and well maintained. Lots of birds to watch while you have a coffee in the morning, from eagles to hummingbirds. Gorgeous view of the river. Speaking of, the river was clean, clear, with a slow current, all sand, and a beach on the other side of the island(easily accessible)! Truly amazing for a swim, float, and sunbathing during the hot summer weather. Many cute spots nearby in the area to grab ice cream or go on adventures. We enjoyed the Friday morning farmers market in Enderby, Margaret Falls, feeding baby cows at Farmer Johns market, and many more. Deb and Joe have cultivated the perfect paradise for a relaxing and romantic getaway as well if a slow and steady pace is your vibe (it is ours for sure!). The peace and comfort we felt during our stay was unmatched. A perfect vacation and we will absolutely be returning again.

A Home Away From Home

With kids

If you're looking for a place that feels more like a home than a rental, this is it! The cottage was immaculate and stocked with everything we could possibly need. It was more thoughtfully prepared than anywhere else we've booked. Little extras like bubbles and beach toys for our kids showed just how much care goes into hosting here. Deb and Joe went above and beyond, sharing homemade desserts and fresh produce straight from their garden. Their warmth made all the difference. By the end of our stay, it genuinely felt like we were visiting old friends rather than staying at a rental property. Five stars isn't enough. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

Unwind Riverside

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the River Cottage, and highly recommend it! The hosts are incredibly welcoming, kind and helpful. The pics don't tell the story. The cottage is delightful—super clean, comfortable had everything we needed and more and more. If you are into peacefulness, birds and nature / trails then this is the place for you. Aside from relaxing at the cottage and watching the birds and river float by, we enjoyed swimming at Mara lake, eating Haksap berries, visiting the Cardiff Miller Art Warehouse and our dinner at Small Axe Roadhouse. Thank you, we really appreciated our relaxing stay!
