Great location
Stayed for 4 nights with 2 friends. The property was as advertised. The kitchen area still needs some finishing, but is useable as is. There are plenty of extras on the property, including a sauna and pizza oven. We loved the outdoor space. Huge deck and great patìo with an outdoor fireplace. The location was ideal... close to Lion's Head and hiking trails. We are coffee drinkers, so brought a Nespresso machine, but there is a coffee pod machine. Didn't see a coffee machine that used just grinds though. Keep that in mind if you like your coffee ☕. Nathan responded to all of my questions almost immediately from before we decided on the cottage until check out. Impressive communication! Would stay here again.

Comfy, clean, lots to do
Stayed here for the better part of a week with a few friends, loved it and didn't want to leave at the end. Some tidbits from our stay: - Good supply of amenties and accoutrements: lots of books, various board games, lots of fireword, plenty of kitchen appliances - Great tap water; safe to drink and very clean with no well-smell or taste - Good internet for rural standards (50mbit LTE) - Nice welcome basket :) - Fairly secluded and quiet. Can notice the ocassional car drive by but otherwise didn't see or hear any neighbors - Fairly large property with lots of parking - Bring flip-flops if you plan to use the sauna as it's down a short gravel path - Shower pressure is adaquate Enjoyed our time here. Had plenty of things to do while hanging around the cottage. Would definitely come back
