The cottage was everything we'd expected and more. We joked that the kitchen had more items of use then ours at home :). We stayed three nights over a long holiday weekend. Silke and her family live close, if you need anything, and had set the heaters on for a nice toasty arrival. The cottage was cute, toasty, renovated, and clean. There was more than enough space for the three of us and the beds were not only extremely comfy, but included electric heating pads for the cold winter nights. We took full advantage of the hot tub just out side the property; lots of outdoor space. The town of Hastings was a quick 2 minute drive away. We went in for the day to rent bikes for the Bridge PA wine trail and the pamphlets Silke left with house instructions kept us very busy with the areas current weekend activities. We would highly recommend this sizable cottage as such an affordable price. We look forward to returning :).
