The cottage is really cute and we appreciated the privacy. Brooke was very friendly and willing to accommodate any of our needs. We never met her in the 2 days and 3 nights we stayed, but she was readily available for any questions. The chickens and ducks were a highlight as they greeted us each morning. I know most people were cool with the composting toilet, but maybe that's because they only stayed one night? It was alright for the first day, but after that it started getting really smelly, like a porta-potty, which in that small living space was pretty gross. I saw one of Brooke's responses to a similar review as mine that "well green living isn't for everyone", and that is definitely not fair to say. I was totally open to and even excited about the composting toilet, as I've used them in the past, but I've never lived with one. After this experience, my mindset has changed.
