The cottage feels like a home -- and it functioned as one for me and my husband for nearly a month. Everything works well and is well maintained. You'll need to have a car to get around; it's not in the most walkable location. But the upside is that it's across the street from a large park, it's tucked away among tall trees and hills where cows graze, and it's peaceful and pretty. You can sit on the porch and watch hummingbirds buzz around the lemon tree just a few feet away. The appliances all worked well, the home is well maintained, and Colin is a gracious host willing and ready to answer any questions, etc. The place had more space than we needed for two people (not that I'm complaining). Would be ideal for a family or three couples traveling together.
