Great location for family vacation
The cottage and property were great. Lots of inflatables and outdoor activities. The kitchen was well supplied with everything you need, except a milkbag holder. Pictures were inaccurate regarding blankets - it looked like they were included but were not. So when it says bring your own linens, be sure to.bring blankets as well!
