Newly Restored Cottage on River

Newly restored cottage, after being off Airbnb for 5 years, with cathedral living/kitchen area. Indoor/outdoor fireplaces & views of the stone sculpted grounds on the West River. The bedroom is on the ground floor with bath & wood stove. There are miles of trails across the river at Bittner Park. Bittner has a beautiful 18 hole disc golf course, pickle ball courts, basketball and a running track. A 1/4 mile away by car or a 5 minutes walk over the "Peter Pan Bridges"-not for the faint of heart.
