Although not quite what we expected when we walked in, The Cottage is a quirky little place to stay with some beautiful features - including the lush private deck and gardens we were free to explore. The cottage is quite close to the main house and there are other buildings on the property but I didn’t feel like our privacy was compromised at all.
The weather during our stay was quite horrendous but we stayed cosy, warm and dry in the cottage with extra blankets and air conditioning.
Forest Lodge is a really lovely and convenient location. It feels very secluded and peaceful but it’s only a short 5 minute drive to the local shops and restaurants.
Paige and her family were outstanding hosts. They were friendly and accommodating, eager to ensure we enjoyed our stay but also gave us our privacy. Paige is very responsive to texts or a phone call for anything we may have needed.
We were greeted with an early check-in and bubbles in the fridge. The chalkboard fridge and selection of kid’s toys kept my little one entertained, although she was quite content just being free to crawl all over and explore the cottage and deck safely.
Overall, we had a great experience at The Cottage and would certainly stay again if we’re in the area.
