This was a great stay. Checking in and out was easy, and Katheryn provided very detailed driving directions. The “cottage” (more like a tiny villa), was spotless and just as shown in the photos, or even nicer — the kitchen appears to have been upgraded a bit since that photo was taken. All those windows are wonderful, and the furniture is both stylish and exceedingly comfortable (with one exception, noted below).
The overall feel is completely peaceful. We enjoyed sitting indoors by the wall of windows or outside on the deck, as well as walking along the creek — we even spotted some deer on and near the property. It’s a great place to get away from the city; you feel like you’re all alone in the woods, but it’s just 10-15 minutes from Whole Foods, Austin’s Pizza, Madam Mam’s, and more.
A few things to note if you’re considering staying here:
– The small side room contains one twin bed, not two as the listing says. And that bed is painfully uncomfortable. But if you just need the queen bed, this is not a concern. (The queen bed is heavenly!)
– The kitchen has a sink, Keurig coffeemaker with supplies, microwave, and small fridge. There is no stove, oven, or freezer. Didn’t bother us on our weekend stay, but worth thinking about for longer stays.
– Access to the property is on a narrow, tightly curving road and a long, steep driveway with very little light at night. Probably not for new or nervous drivers.
If those things don’t apply to you, then I would definitely recommend this for a nice romantic getaway.
