Laura was a thoughtful host. We were prepared for everything with the things in the cottage. (Rain coat, beach towel, bag chair). It was a little out of the way but we liked that. The rain forest was beautiful. We followed all of her many suggestions for things to do in the area including the best place for cookies! Yum! It was a wonderful stay and we felt like we were staying with friends. (We even miss the frog noises at night. )
