We stayed for 10 days this summer and had a great stay. The owner was very communicative and responsive. It’s a little bare bones, but overall a really nice stay.

The cottage is surrounded by beautiful woods. Hammocks and chairs on deck are relaxing places to enjoy the trees. Fill out the kitchen with some necessary gadgets like can opener and measuring cups/spoons and your good to go!
