ADORABLE little cottage!

Amazing little cottage. Bed was quite rough, but everything else about it was perfect. The covered front AND back porches pushed us outside more comfortably also, wich was very nice.

Mr

Nice cozy cabin, it had everything we needed. Didn't have time to go fishing this trip, would like to plan a trip in the future for that. It's a beautiful location.

Super Cute

Would definitely recommend. The Midge is a super cute cabin. It was very clean and the fire pit was a definite plus. With the porch lights off you can see a gazillion stars. No views like that in the city. The walking trails are great and go right by the river and its always fun to ride up to the dam where it feels like you're on top of the world. May stay here again on my next visit home.
