Sherry, our host, was great and very communicative. The place is lovely with beautiful views. There was plenty of wood for the fire pit, lots of space and gorgeous bathroom. We brought our two dogs and they had a great stay also.

The cottage was so beautiful! Warm & inviting, the decor was well put together with love and care. Shelly thought of everything, we needed for nothing. I forgot my shampoo, and she had a wonderful selection of shampoo, conditioner, & body wash for us to choose from, it was the good stuff too, ha! Plenty of towels, blankets, & linens. The bed was literally heaven, it felt like I was sleeping on a cloud, ha. The kitchen was fully stocked, there was even ziplock bags etc… a coffee bar with coffee pods, sugar, tea & hot cocoa… everything you needed to make s’mores, & popcorn, ha! All you need is to bring yourself & any food you will want to eat. The TV has Roku, so you can watch movies… Shelly was great at communicating, easy to get ahold of, very helpful & easy going. It was the dead of winter, so we weren’t able to really use the outside, but it didn’t matter. We still had a wonderful time! We want to come back! Can’t wait. Thank you Shelly for giving us a place away from the chaos of life. Giving us a peaceful time together for our Valentine getaway. ❤️ Love Renée & Jason
