This is a cozy little cottage tucked away in a quiet valley. Mark and Cristina are very welcoming and kind! Something to keep in mind is that the cottage is not as private as it seems on the listing, as there is a house right next door that is occupied by a family. Occasionally the kiddos or others would walk by the back door and windows, which was not a problem at all for us! Just something to keep in mind if you're looking for total seclusion. If you aren't comfortable with critters like geckos, fruit flies, and the occasional centipede, this may not be the place for you! We had a lovely, quiet stay and thoroughly enjoyed the many amenities our hosts provided to us. A perfect spot to relax after a day of adventuring on the North Shore, for people who want to feel a connection to nature!
