The cottages were in a scenic area and well appointed. The cottage in which we stayed had a steep staircase to get up to the bedrooms, so I would not recommend our particular cottage if anyone has mobility issues. (I am not sure if all of the cabins are the same.) The staff at check in were helpful and friendly. Our family enjoyed a short horseback trail ride to a waterfall. We had a lovely stay!
