A friend and i had a short stay in one of the cottages. The studio style was spacious enough for two plus her dog with crate. We chose this for view of dam (awesome) and the trundle bed (very comfortable).The walking path was wonderful on a crisp fall morning. A longer stay is the only thing that would have made it better!

Nice small little room. The location was nice being right on the river with a walking trail. The room was a little crammed - we didn’t really have a good place to sit and eat food or play games. But otherwise, everything was fine.

Fun Getaway

We had a nice stay at the “Otter Sight” We loved seeing the river out the window and the convenience of walking to downtown. The place was clean, the bed was firm, and the shower was powerful. The pool and jacuzzi were a nice addition as well.

Right on the water with wonderful walking paths right out the door! The unit was well stocked. The communication and system for check in was excellent! Adding An extra blanket for the unit would be nice. The bedding could be replaced. It is a bit tired. Overall I would return and recommend it.

Great location

This property was in an amazing location, close to downtown and shopping. The view of the river couldn’t be beat. Only complaint, the bed was rough . Felt like we were sleeping on a straight box spring, no mattress. Otherwise great rental, and responsive hosts.
