Cottage near Whitewater Park

Well updated place: laundry, clean, very convenient to downtown and the river. Main bed was very comfortable, neighborhood is quiet. I didn’t cook but it would be possible to make nice meals. I didn’t use the upstairs bedroom but it also looked comfy. Would stay there again.
Less than half a mile to beautiful park.

Loved the cottage!

The cottage was very nice and very comfortable! Communication with the host was great! Just wasn’t crazy about the second attached property. They had a pool (that we didn’t get to use) that was right outside our bedroom window so it was a little noisy. But what was even more annoying was the parking situation. They had parties both nights we were there with 4 and 5 cars taking us all the parking in the driveway and in front of the house. We had to park a ways down the street. I’m sure this isn’t always the case but be aware that it can happen with 2 rentals on one property.

The check in process was smooth, the unit was very clean, well stocked with everything I needed, and communication was smooth and seamless.
