Darlene's cottage exceeded our expectations. We were surprised at how much space there was for our family. Lots of beds, and even two dining options. The kitchen has absolutely anything you need to cook, even crock pots if you want to prepare something that cooks while you enjoy the sites. My young children had lots of room to play.
Darlene provided a warm greeting with cookies and after hearing about our failed plans to go tubing she went out of her way to connect us with a new local tubing company.
People should be aware that there is a definite rustic feel to this cottage, which we found charming but might not be suited for everyone. For us, it was the perfect place to disconnect from technology (although my younger children did enjoy watching cable on the little tv in the morning), and take some time to reconnect as a family. There was even a cribbage board and cards to do that.
We would stay here again if we are back in the area.
