Summary: Very clean, simple, met all our needs, but mostly we loved the privacy!!! The cabin was surrounded by woods on a 5 acre lot with a cute trail through the woods leading to Lincoln lake, equiped with kayaks availible for guest use!!

Summary: This place was absolutely perfect! So clean, private, and full of adventures! The only complaint I would have was finding the property. It is not marked by the road, and when arriving later in the evening it was difficult to find. Google maps took us to the driveway before this one. Other than that simple inconvenience, we couldn’t be more pleased with our stay! The host was extremely kind and responsive. We hope to visit again soon

Summary: Our 2025 trip is our 7th time staying here. It has become tradition. This is a wonderful place for families because it offers privacy, parameters and yet freedom for kids (including kids with unique needs) while being close to lots of wonderful things. Our family has been here across several seasons, and all offer unique experiences. The trail to the river offers peace and perspective. And each time we go there are (little and big) upgrades. Great communication from Bernadine. We make it an annual event.

Summary: This is my fifth year staying at the cottage and it’s definitely my favorite place ever to vacation. It’s the perfect location, charming and has everything you need. The walk to the river is so pretty, watching the deer everyday come into the yard is always something I love. The weather was amazing, it was great being outside all afternoon. Already looking forward to next year.

Summary: This is the second time that we've stayed at this cottage. It's a great location- where it feels like you're getting away from it all but it's also not far from town. The property is clean and well accommodated and host is super responsive and helpful. Thanks for another wonderful stay!

Summary: This is our fourth year staying at the River Dream Cottage. The owners are great people and very accommodating. The cottage is out of town by just a couple of miles. It is a great place to stay. We will be back next year. Thank you Bernadine!

Summary: Just what we were looking for! Peace & quiet in a remote spot, still close to town and things to do. Loved the sun porch, and the path to the river/lake. Love that kayaks were available to use, and that we did. She really has thought of everything you could need/want. Would recommend and would definitely come back! Thanks for everything.

Summary: The property is beautiful and the house extremely comfortable. It is very convenient to activities and places to see along with restaurants. Or, the kitchen has everything needed plus a gas grill is available if you prefer to cook. Top on my list is comfortable beds and these are. Bernadette responded promptly to any questions and when the coffee maker malfunctioned a new one was delivered within a couple of hours. This would be a great place for kids as the grounds are huge and after a day at the beach they can come back and run around some more. Or play one of the many inside games available. River Dream Cottage gets 10 / 5 stars from us!
