If it was possible to give a property seven stars, this wonderful cottage would be worthy. The setting is out of a Monet painting, the cottage is well organized, and Carol has thought of everything: you'll get coffee, tea, cocoa, oatmeal, yogurt, granola, and bread for making a fabulous breakfast, there are multiple outlets available, plenty of pots and pans for cooking, and did we mention the little lake is perfect to sit and gaze at while you drink your morning tea? If you are a writer, this would be the place to write your next book. If you want to venture into the mountains to the northwest, you're on their doorstep. It was only a 40 minute drive to fabulous hikes with views of snow capped peaks. It was the perfect start to our New Zealand vacation.
