We loved Smithson's cottage! Check-in was very easy. The key code on the door was very convenient, as we did not have to worry about grabbing/losing a key. The cottage was very clean and appeared just like the photos. The cottage comfortably fit two couples and four dogs. Our favorite part was the huge fenced in backyard! We could take all four dogs outside without worrying about them getting out of the fence. The backyard was clean and there was a trashcan specifically for poop bags. We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again!
