The cottage was very well kept and clean. It was nice to have our own entrance into the yard and a keypad on the door. The yard was beautiful with chairs to relax and bees. We had no more interaction with the owners than a wave, which is okay with us. The 3 miles from downtown while accurate are all interstate. The river district was close by and fun to visit and we enjoyed the One World Brewing which was about 0.5 miles away.
