Our experience at Mary Jane's Dragonfly Cottage was the relaxing getaway we needed. The view of the trees, mountain side, and distant city lights from the deck and through the windows was even more beautiful than I expected. The inside was comfortable, clean and had a rustic homey charm to it. We really enjoyed just sitting and taking it all in. Don't forget to take the stone stair path down to the secluded hot tub to enjoy the solitude and scenery. We did a little cooking, and bbq'd on the deck, and all the basics we needed were available. The internet was not working, but we could use our phones to look info up online and stay connected if needed. Satellite tv and a broad selection of dvds were on hand when you have had your fill of the view outside.
The main house and a couple small buildings are within view of the parking space, but from the windows and deck you cannot see any other structures. As is is quite a ways up the mountain, and feels somewhat isolated, it's nice to know the host is close by if needed but you still get almost total privacy.
I recommend driving up while it is still light outside. The roads are narrow, steep at times, and pay heed to the deer crossing signs. We had deer walk right in front of us 3 of our 4 trips up and down the road!
Can't wait to go back.
