Mountain Cottage was a serene retreat. Rustic but with modern conveniences. The sunrises over the lake from half way up the mountain were breathtaking. Don't let the drive daunt you! Helen and Jurgen were delightfully welcoming and helpful. Thank you, Jurgen, for keeping us supplied with plenty of wood for the stove. We stayed wonderfully cozy even amid the driving rain and howling wind of an Irish winter night. Highly recommend Mountain Cottage as an escape from a hectic life (though the wifi is strong and reliable if you choose to connect).
