Fantastic newly renovated cottage

My husband and I loved our stay at Bear Paw Cottages. Our newly renovated cottage had such a clever design and thoughtful furnishings that made it feel open and spacious. The decor was warm and welcoming. Our hosts thought of everything we might need and were always available if we needed anything. Highly recommended!!!!
