We had an amazing experience throughout- from pre-arrival communications to host responsiveness.The location was ideal, though our family found the cottage a bit cozy.It did get a bit warm overnight, which the provided fans helped with. The window AC was doing its best.We appreciated the cleanliness of the stay, as well as the little touches such as s’mores ingredients and bug spray in the bathroom.I would highly recommend staying here.
