We had the most wonderful stay at the Cottage! The home was perfect for our group, very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, making it a pleasure to cook in! The bedrooms and living areas were cozy and comfy. The hot tub and outdoor areas were an amazing amenity (and very well cared for/clean). It definitely felt like the host took thought of every posible detail to ensure a perfect stay! Would definitely return.
