Fox River Cottages Review

These four modern two-bedroom cottages with kitchenettes are beautifully situated on 5 hectares (13 acres) down a winding dirt road at the edge of a field overlooking the islands of Murray Bay. The cottages are tidy units of exposed wood and high cathedral ceilings, furnished with televisions and DVD players, and all with views of the bay. They're near one another, yet also staggered to create a sense of personal privacy. Two units have woodstoves; all of them are heated with electric heat and have decks, Wi-Fi access, and gas barbecues for evening grilling. Relax on your cottage's screened porch, then wander down to the river and dabble around on a thousand-foot beach (swimming and good clam digging) or in one of the property's canoes (remember your life jacket). One unit has a private washer and dryer and its own dishwasher, but there's also a laundry on premises that all guests can use for free.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
