This is very much an off-grid experience as described. Overall the cottage is pretty and in a beautiful setting, but I feel like it lacked some attention to detail. We were fully expecting to encounter our fair share of bugs and wildlife but were kept busy removing frogs and fighting a bug net over the bed that was too small/poorly placed and full of holes. There was random stuff in the fridge and pantry, not that we expect anything, but if there's something there it should be useful to guests. It was also not the cleanest - the coffee maker was full of mold, there were lots of dead bugs near the bed, and the couch and linens smelled like mildew. It also would have been nice to have extra or more comfortable pillows because the ones provided were very thin. Again, we were prepared for a rustic experience but had a hard time enjoying our surroundings and some of these things can be mitigated despite the location.
There was an issue with the water pump that we were informed of a few hours before arrival. Michael did his best to provide a workaround, we just wish the communication around the issue would have been better.
