The cottage is beautifully put together. I think it is important to note that the cottage is in the mountains and is cold, but it has a beautiful wooden fire place that keeps the cottage warm. My only serious complaint is that we did not always have hot water to shower. Other items to note is that portable lights are needed for load shedding (I brought my own) and the table needs repair, it is not stable. The washing machine for me is an added bonus.
