The location of this cottage is absolute perfection! It's down a 500 foot "road" which is actually a private driveway shared with one other house (which is a fair distance away from the cottage). So you feel you have the entire area to yourself, even though you can walk into the Volcano town in about 5 minutes. The secluded feeling of the cottage is magical. It was fun to poke around the large "yard" around the cottage and see the various plants. The style and decor of the home make you feel like you're in the higher elevations, at a rustic but nicely equipped cottage, and it's all tastefully done. The atmosphere is rustic and romantic. I enjoyed having a fire in the woodstove each evening, which then keeps the house warm overnight and into the morning also. There's also a space heater provided in case you don't want to work on the fire, although heating whole house with it is not easy.
Cleaning was very well done and thorough, it was immaculate when I checked in. Everything you need has been thought of, well stocked, such things like enough paper towels or dish soap (or fire starter sticks), all of that has been thought about and provided for you. There was a lot of thought put into the guest provisions obviously.
In sum, I think the secluded location, style, cleanliness, and provisions are the big upsides. Only a few downsides as I see it: beds were a little saggy or mushy (especially in the middle - new mattresses would be welcome), the internet is satellite so it has a lag (I think cable internet is available in the area so hopefully the owners will switch over) and the speed is somewhat slow (it's okay for typical tasks however video calls may be an issue), and for me the woodburning fireplace was an upside but if you don't want that work the fireplace could count as a downside. Tip: I found for parking it's easier to leave your car below, to avoid negotiating the slightly tricky upper driveway, and just walk up that extra 40 feet to the house.
Final word, I would definitely stay here again, pending some concern on whether my internet tasks could be done sufficiently with the satellite connection. If you have less connectivity needs, it's a slam dunk and you are lucky if you're able to book this cottage!
