Honestly, this was the best vacation I have had in years!
Michael and Bernie are amzing hosts, so kind and generous, and willing to do whatever needed doing. Not that I needed much, the cottage is perfectly set up for what I wanted.
It was perfect having the whole place to myself, but it would be well suited for a couple or small family as well. The cottage is on a cul de sac, so there's very little traffic; safe, quiet and peaceful. There is a huge fenced in lawn area in the back (half an acre I think Michael said!) perfect for kids, with a washing line and a patio area, and the kitchen is fully stocked (even a small dishwasher beside the washing machine, I didn't use it, but it's there), lots of bathroom towels etc, and a great little sitting room for enjoying a fire and Netflix in the evenings. The shower has great water pressure, loved it! And the bed in the main bedroom was so comfy, I was sleeping over 10 hours every night, which was JUST what I needed to unwind after a lot of work this summer.
I didn't want to leave, my 2 weeks felt like 2 days, the place just felt so welcoming and warm.
Just like Michael and Bernie: welcoming and warm.
I'll be back again, it's worth the trip from Western Canada!
