The Copper Tub Cottage is a lovely refuge! You only have to sink in to the hot hot water and rest your head for a minute to understand why it's worth naming a cottage after a bath tub. You could name an entire resort after tubs like these.

The bed, not as spectacular, but for a pull-out couch it's pretty good. The foam mattress is firm. The powerful wall heater goes a long way toward making the cottage cozy, as do the wooden and iron furnishings.

The host's thoughtful touches are evident everywhere, from the biscotti next to the coffee cups to the thorough welcome booklet. Peggy was kind enough to turn on the heater before we arrived at the end of a long night, and we appreciated her understanding when we had to slip out in the morning without saying hello. We had everything we needed and more; it just would have been nice to meet the person behind such a warm place.
