My wife and I and our 2 golden retrievers just returned from a two night stay here. The cottage was quaint and functional. The AC on the main level was great, the wifi was strong, and the king sized bed was very comfortable. The newly updated bathroom was beautiful and the water views were breath taking. There is a small BBQ and propane fire pit for guest use which was great. The kitchen is lacking oven mitts (we had to use a dish towel and had a few close calls) and has no soup/cereal bowls. We don’t know if the tap water is drinkable, but luckily found a water cooler in the closet- it might be helpful to leave a note for future guests of the water cooler. We were quite disappointed to pull up and find the owners (and possibly a law office?) reside on the property, a mere 15-20 feet from the cottage. We booked this specific location as we wanted a private get away with our dogs. With the description stating “private 7 acres” we expected absolute privacy. We sifted through the description several times and cannot find anywhere that it states the owners reside there, nor do any of the photos show the residence on site. We found it difficult to relax having their main room and bay winder overlooking the cottage area, always having the feeling someone is watching you. They are also building some sort of structure beside the cottage, which included 3 workers there for most of the day time, which also took away from the privacy aspect and made us nervous to have the dogs around the construction. We resorted to leaving the cottage for most of the day time with the dogs. We wish the construction was mentioned upon booking.
