The cottage was quaint, cute and well equipped. It was spacious for our party of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids. We loved that is was all on one level, perfect for my mother with mobility issues. However, front of cottage was very dark at night when returning from the day. Even with the porch light on it was difficult to navigate. Front security light did not work. It was repaired while we were there but it was still quite dim and sensor didn’t function properly. The pool table and games were a huge hit. Would definitely stay again.

Taking the grands to the mountains

Just what we needed! One level, cozy, plenty of games, space to play! Large open living area so that the garlands could l be together with the adults! We all loved playing pool! And, the nightly s’mores by the fire pit! And, the easy access to Helen. Great time!
