We should have cancelled our reservation after the website confirmed it, and then the owner kept emailing me to tell me I had to switch the dates.He also told me that his website shouldn’t have let me make that reservation! What? It wasn’t my fault the website let me make the reservation. After much stress and much back and forth with the owner, we switched our reservation to suit him. Should have canceled instead. We rented the Rivers Edge cottage. While it is part of the property, it is not in the secluded part where the Inn and the other cottages are. It’s actually close to the road (not an issue) and very close to a private, neighboring house. The neighbors were quite noisy, using loud blowers and chain saws, and they set off VERY loud fireworks many nights, many of which landed on the driveway to our unit. Not Goldberry’s fault, but not a secluded cottage. In addition, the unit is “tired” looking. It could use some TLC both inside and out. It needs paint everywhere at the very least. The major kitchen appliances worked well enough, but the website description led us to believe they were updated, when in fact they were quite old. (The coffee maker provided was so filthy we went out and bought our own). The furnishings were tired and dated as well…we felt like we had stepped into someone’s attic. The bunk room is actually a converted garage, down several steps, and closed off from the rest of the cottage with an exterior door. It has a window AC unit. The steps leading down to the river didn’t look like they could withstand much weight (we are not overweight people, but didn’t want to risk it.) The screens on the screened in porch needed repair, so they weren’t really good at keeping bugs out. The main part of the property was rented out, so the “free snacks” were not available. There were no closets in any of the bedrooms. It wasn’t the worst place we have ever stayed, but for what we paid, we could have stayed somewhere nicer. Just letting you know all of this because the pics on the website don’t show what the cottage is really like. Also, after we left, the owner asked us to contact him if we had anything unfavorable to say, or if we were pleased to go to trip advisor. That’s probably why this is the only “less than stellar” review. It wasn’t what we had hoped it would be. Two positive things I can say is that Carly met us and showed us around and was lovely, and it was nice that we had access to bikes and kayaks (although those could also be rented fairly close by).
