Beautiful views from all parts of the cottage. Lacking privacy, which was a constant negative. We can handle "rustic", but this is more "rundown". We regretted staying here, but the 2 issues that made us miserable - We were not lucky enough to get the evening breezes that others spoke about, that would have helped us sleep in the heat, so we struggled without AC; if that is an issue for you, be aware - there is a box fan provided that we used the entire time, which helped a little. Secondly, we were instructed to not flush any toilet paper, and needed to save used paper in the trash bin. The muggy heat makes that a pretty gross chore. Just not for us.
