We were welcomed at dusk with twinkly lights surrounding the cottage and stepped into a cozy heated cabin and later enjoyed the hot tub which had been pre-warmed for us - a nice winter treat. The space was great for a few friends to hang out in and knit and talk and catch up, which is why we came to stay. We cooked dinner both nights and the kitchen had all the basics one might need including a clean oven and baking sheets.

The space had great windows so whether eating, resting in bed or chilling on the couch you get great views of the trees, but also sky since they have limbed up some trees to let the light in. Even around our solstice visit we still got an hour of toasty direct sun on the nice back patio which we enjoyed a lot. Also the morning sun filtering through the trees into the kitchen was a really beautiful way to start the day.

The cottage is in a neighborhood setting and closer to some other houses than I thought it would be - that said we saw not a single neighbor and the neighborhood was generally quiet. Traffic is low on the streets so we enjoyed a stroll through the neighborhood enjoying the trees and rural homes.

The murphy bed was comfy, the two reclining chairs in the living room too. Loved the hot tub!

Bonus service notice: I left some small items there at check out, and because I live in the area, Joe and Ellen agreed to meet me in town to get them back to me - going the extra mile!
