We were returning guests and the property was just as we remembered it! Heather and her team really have thought of everything! Clean, comfortable beds, and one of the best stocked kitchens in a rental that we’ve seen. The hot tub was hot, the a/c cool, and the cottage is a great location to enjoy the 151 trail. Cozy and perfect for a getaway. We enjoyed our stay once again!
