My guests were delighted to spot 2 fallow deer that wandered onto the property during their stay. And they made good use of the woodburner to stay toasty warm when the weather turned cold. I appreciated the cottage being left in immaculate order on their departure.

The host, Linda, welcomed us like old friends. The cottage was spacious, very clean, and thoughtfully furnished with comfortable seating, a fully equipped kitchen, quality toiletries, and even a woodstove. Outdoors is a slice of rural heaven--mountains, meadows, a stream, and cottage garden. We spotted a 10-point buck several times in the adjacent woods.

Interesting comment regarding communication. As I live next door to the cottage it would have been very easy (and polite) to ask if it was ok to charge your E.V. car. I am sure most hosts would appreciate the courtesy, especially where in some cases it is not permitted for various reasons.
