Cozy Creek Cottages

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely loved the little cottages, feels like a home away from home… check-in took less than 5 minutes & checkout was a breeze! Full kitchen fully stocked! Thats what i loved the most 100% and a dishwasher, i dont even have a dishwasher at home so I truely was on vacation not having to hand wash dishes nightly…. This is 100% 5/5 stars only thing i would mention is the only tv in the cottage is in the living room; luckily i always bring a tv for my sons xbox so we gave him the living room for xbox (hdmi/gaming friendly) and we took his little tv and put in master bedroom.. other than only 1 tv we absolutely love this place! We will be back! "
