The cottage was perfect; quiet and serene. The hosts were easily accessible, although we didn't really need for anything. The cottage has everything you really need, including a wood burning stove that helps to heat the place and adds to the relaxed atmosphere. The only thing I would have liked that wasn't there was a microwave. It rained most of the time we were on the island, so we weren't able to take advantage of the deck and BBQ, but had the weather been better they both would have been used extensively. The bed was really comfortable, but small, as my husband and I are used to a queen and this was just a double. Glad we brought our SUV as the driveway is rough, but we learned quickly that most of the island roads can be as well! SSI is a great place to disconnect and relax away from our busy city lives and this cottage was a great homebase for all of our hiking and sightseeing adventures.
