We (family of 4) loved this cottage. Easy to access, very comfortable, and a great stay. Location is also great for the region and multiple parks.

Billie, I am so glad you and your family enjoyed your visit. Thank you so much for staying with me. I hope to host you again in the future!
The property was A LOT smaller than it appeared in the pictures and the stairs are extremely steep with no bathroom upstairs. There are other homes VERY close to this one. It was decorated cute and the place was clean and host was great.

Thank you so much for staying with me and for taking the time to leave a review! I am glad you found the home clean, enjoyed the décor, and had a positive experience with me as your host.
For future guests, I do want to note the home’s square footage, floor plan, and the fact the bathroom is located on the main level are all included in the listing description. I also mention the staircase is steeper than a typical residential staircase so guests can determine whether the layout will be a good fit for their needs before booking.
Regarding the neighboring home, the spacing between this house and the other house on the property is similar to what you would find in many neighborhoods. The second home is also shown in the pictures.
Thank you again for your stay and I appreciate your feedback!
Rooms were clean and cozy. Plenty of bedding and towels. Snacks and coffee available in the kitchen. Everything was wonderful.

Riany gave all the instructions that we needed for the check-in, communicating with us very clearly. The house was very clean and the facilities were brand new. The location is also a high point, 20 minutes away from the main locations and restaurants.

Beautiful cottage very comfortable! Only con. Was WiFi needs upgraded and grab bars in shower for those of us who have trouble stepping over a tub. Enjoyed our stay
The place was confortable and many amenities were provided. The only item missing was Kleenex. Since it was cold weather we could not enjoy the back deck. It would be a wonderful space when temperatures are warmer.
4 ladies... BEAUTIFUL rental, IMMACULATE and well stocked with all essentials. Owner responded immediately when needed. Super comfy beds. Firepit was awesome. Close to waterfalls and orchards. We had a blast and cannot wait to return.
