10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Uniquely decorated, my week-long stay was pleasant and quiet. Clean. The onsite owners were very friendly and kind. Large, comfy bed. Comes with a stove and wood, but the wall heater was fine for those chilly mountain mornings! Note to people 6' and over, most of the unit has a vaulted ceiling, but some of the space is lost in the bathroom and tiny door off the kitchen. Well stocked with games, videos, kitchen utensils, and books. Very quant!

Lovely cottage. Very peaceful and quiet.
8 / 10Excellent·May 2025
This cottage has everything one needs for a lovely get-away - full kitchen, bath, king bed, wood fireplace. It is even cuter than it looks in the pictures. There is a little door off the kitchen that goes to a small private patio with a table and chairs on the west side. We went out there to look at stars after dark. For walks, although it is beautiful country, the main road has no sidewalk and is fairly busy. Otherwise, the location was very good for all the places we wanted to visit.

Had a great stay and the cherry on top was the abundance of little snacks in the refrigerator.
