The cottage was beautifully appointed, with not only what we needed but so much more, especially the local artwork and handmade furniture. It was a perfect getaway, with amazing views from the dock, a charming town nearby, and a cozy place to hide out. The hosts left treats for us and were at the ready if we needed anything. A wonderful place to stay, and I'm sure we'll come back, especially when it's not so cold.
