Lynn is a great host, and this was my third winter in the cottage. COVID-19 interrupted my travel plans, so I spent more time inside than I had planned and relied on the kitchen more than I normally do, and it’s very functional - the addition of an electric kettle this year was perfect, and the larger fridge/freezer in the garage comes in very handy. Some houses in the area went through major renovations, but the cottage is well-insulated and I hardly heard any construction, which made it easy to telecommute during the day and watch movies at night without disturbing anyone. Weekend interactions with Lynn and Will helped me feel less isolated, and it was beautiful to watch the trees and flowers bloom in the garden. This is a place I’d recommend even in a pandemic.
