Very nice , BUT ….
This house needs cleaned really bad , under furniture, ceiling fans and fixtures have way too much dust and dirt . Not a 2 bedroom. Was hoping for the washer that was advertised. This is not the Comal river . Could be very comfortable if cleaned

My husband and I stayed at the cottage for my husband’s 30th birthday. The cottage itself is so very lovely and quaint. The backyard was amazing for hosting a few friends for dinner and a day on the river. We couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Great host
Tom went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay! There was road construction in front of the property, something he had no control over. However, he gave us the opportunity to move to another property in order to avoid the construction at no additional cost. Either property would have been fine with us, but we moved and it was a great stay. Thank you Tom!!

Beautiful river views
We enjoyed our stay. Kitchen had most things needed to cook a meal - coukd have used a cheese grater? The hottub worked well and we could soak while viewing the river - making it all worth it. Views of river were just awesome. House is very dated and bed is extremely bouncy - terrain in backyard is a bit dangerous for really young kids and elderly folks. We brought bikes but were unable to use from house - this area of NB is not pedestrian friendly. No sidewalks making it also impossible to walk into town.

Cute, Cozy and Clean
The cottage was very cute, cozy and clean. Quiet area, no worries. We had planned to go fishing but going down the steps to the river (Guadalupe) with bad knees and older folks, it's risky. I lost my balance and had the stone wall not been there I would have gone tumbling down and I went to relax and not to get injured. Families with small children should keep a very good eye on their little ones. We had issues with the TV (Spectrum) but could have been something from a storm. The host, Tom came over several times and got it to working for us. We are old school and this hi tech stuff with don't get along. LOL. Overall it was a very pleasant and quiet get away.

Comfortable Fishing Cabin
We were only there a week-end, but we had a nice time at the cottage. The owner, Tom, was very responsive to our needs, and even helped us get a fire going in the fire pit. His wife brought over extra blankets when we requested them.The view of the water is nice, but this really isn't a place for swimming. There isn't a "beach" or shallow area in the water. For an old fishing cabin, the place was reasonably clean and comfortable. The biggest factor affecting my 3-star review is what the listing says about sleeping. It says the cottage has 4 beds and sleeps 6 people. There is one bedroom with a double bed with a decent mattress. There is pull out couch in the living room, a single bed and trundle underneath the single in a "sun room". Neither the trundle bed, nor the opened couch were adequate for sleeping. Both mattresses were thin, and offered little protection from the springs and other metal pieces in the foundation, which poked them, kept them from sleeping, and made them sore the next day. Unless the owners replace those mattresses with something much more substantial, the cottage does not comfortably sleep more than 3 people - and that's if 2 share the double bed.
