The cottage was really quite lovely - the property is tucked away from the city on the hills, sun-filled, and serene. Beds were comfortable, space was clean, and the water pressure was great. We (family of four with two young children) heard birds chirping all throughout the day, was surrounded by mature trees, and felt like we had a private park. We even saw two deer cross through the property one morning. We got lucky to have a fairly warm day during our stay and took advantage of the pool. What the pictures don’t reflect is that the whole yard has been beautifully redone and has some great areas to sit outside for a meal, relax under the sun, or just soak in the views and sounds. There were kids toys and activities available in the yard which was great for us. We did interact with Mark during our stay and he and his whole family (also with two young children) were all very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend and would certainly consider another stay.
