The house is more beautiful and comfortable than expected - pictures don’t do it justice! Truly one of the best (if not the best) short term rentals we’ve stayed in. Really appreciated the easy communication with the hosts - and that they let us have a late check out.

Kitchen was amazing and decks were great! We had an issue with the gas logs and really missed having the fire place logs with a glass of wine on our 25th wedding anniversary. It was colder than usual for August but we both definitely recommend the cottage and the views!
