We loved our stay at the cottage and were sad we had to leave. The view cannot be beat. It was so peaceful and quiet. The weather was amazing and it was lovely to just sit outside on the deck or the lawn, enjoying the weather and the amazing view. We definitely hope to return. The house was in great shape and everything provided was also in good shape. The kitchen utensils, pots, pans, etc. met our needs during our stay. I don't think there is a need for someone to bring their own knives or pots & pans. We did bring plastic bags with us to store our leftovers in which was fine, and I recommend others do the same (or bring tupperware with them). We did grill one night and the grill worked well with no issues. There were some deer that stopped by in the mornings which was cool and lots of birds. Overall, we loved our stay here!
