Quaint Cottage
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage!! It was the perfect weekend getaway from it all! We enjoyed the original farmhouse and it’s unique architecture. Morning walks were almost spiritual. 2 very small suggestions. 😝 A cedar tray for the claw foot tub upstairs. I enjoyed bathing up there but had no where to put my soaps and such. 2. A lighter in the kitchen for the outdoor fireplace. I ended up using tongs to hold a fire starter over the gas range and walking outside. Lol. These things did not at all detract for our weekend just small suggestions. Thank you so much for sharing your footage with us.

Our stay
This is a lovely place and we enjoyed our stay. The only downside that was not explained in the narrative is this house is a 3 bed 2 bath home however the only main floor bathroom is connected to the bedroom on that floor and the two second floor bedrooms are on separate sides of the house and do not share a bathroom that is up there. So the 3rd couple had to come down and use the bathroom on the 1st floor which would not be a big deal if the only access to it was not through the first floor bedroom. If you were coming here with a single family this is not a big deal but with three couples it was an issue.
