Mel’s cottage was a great place for my daughter and I to stay. We enjoyed the hot tub each evening in our private backyard/deck area. All of the beautiful foliage gave us a sense of privacy and security. The little touches such as stargazing guide, plastic cups and glasses for outdoor use, and the hot tub cover lifter show that Mel takes pride in the cottage and being a great host. The bathroom is a bit small, but perfectly workable. I’d recommend Mel’s place to anyone.
