Excellent venue for the New Year party that we had. Cottage was stocked with all that we needed plus a roaring fire when we needed it.

It's in a beautiful setting we cannot say enough about the views but the cleanliness was terrible, thick dust everywhere, cobwebs wherever you looked. The cottage sleeps 10 but not anywhere where you can sit and eat together. Bunk beds had no ladder to get on the top bunk, and to use a chair, that in itself is a safety concern. We loved the setting not the cottage
