“This is a very special spot, especially for travelers with dogs, offering secure spaces and direct river access. The location strikes a perfect balance, near enough to Nelson and Richmond, yet serenely removed. I was particularly impressed by the well-equipped kitchenette and thoughtful touches like private check-in, making it ideal for longer, independent stays.”
