This is a really beautiful cottage, and very unique. I’ll agree with a reviewer from last year that it’s a bit surprising to arrive - you walk through a property absolutely strewn with a *lot* of…stuff, many in various stages of disrepair, while other items were beautiful! It’s a bit visually overwhelming and takes away from the arrival to the actual cottage…once you get to it, it’s absolutely stunning. I only mention it to prepare future visitors - don’t let the arrival put you off! We smelled something dead when we arrived as well but it seemed to subside after a while, or maybe we got used to it. This is in a neighborhood, and you’ll hear people in surrounding yards, but we really enjoyed it - it felt like we were really a part of the local vibe. The bed was extremely comfortable - I slept so well - and I disagree with a previous reviewer that it’s inconvenient to use the restroom at night. It’s literally adjacent to the bedroom; the toilet is like 10 steps from the bed! The shower, though cold, was wildly beautiful and powerful, and the design touches all over were really intriguing. The hosts were kind and helpful. Karen wanted to meet us, walk us through the cottage, and walk us down to the beach, which I know a lot of people would appreciate. We were grateful for the opportunity to be so close to the park and the sunset from it was unrivaled. To get to the park, you walk back through the property, then down a road for a minute, then another road for about 2 minutes - it’s not right next to the cottage, but it couldn’t be much closer. If you like glamping and want to stay in a super unique place just steps from the water, definitely choose this place!
