The cottage was the perfect quiet getaway for my wife and I after a very busy summer. VERY peaceful. We went in mid October, and sat out on the upper balcony almost every night taking in the stars and the moon, and listening to the river.. The air tight stove was great for taking the October chill out if the air. Our host, Omer, was very easy to talk to - after 2 minutes you felt like you knew him for years. The kitchen was nicely equipped - we didn't eat out once. Highly recommended for a peaceful couple getaway.
