My besties and I wanted to find a small place to book for a weekend of crafting a relaxing. The place was exactly what we were looking for. Would recommend to anyone.
We had a great long weekend. We had everything we needed.

We had to buy aluminum baking pans, no good skillet or broiler pan, empty bottle of dish soap. Not even a full roll of toilet paper, we had to buy that too. Driveway was full of nails and glass as the garage had been torn down. Not enough clean towels and wash cloths for all 4 of us so we had to rummage to find more towels and wash them.

You couldn’t get a hold of anyone via email, phone or text. The response time was 48 hours or more and all they said was they don’t handle any onsite needs. There wasn’t a garage or driveway as noted in the posting, but rather glass, broken woods, debris from the torn gown garage. Dangerous walking to get to the property door. Beds were clean but floors were not. Okay place to just lay your head, don’t expect much.
Check in was simple and easy. The kitchen facilities were clean and available. Enough dishes for everyone and cleaning supplies but also very bare bones.

The cottage was very cute and exactly what we needed! We went to a wedding at a local winery and we were actually able to walk back to the cottage, so the location was great! Would definitely stay again!
The cabin was everything we needed for the weekend. Nicely stocked with useful things and great for morning coffee on the deck or watching TV on a rainy afternoon. Will consider renting again.
