Beautiful views there where no curtains so 5am I woke up because it was bright. Everything for cooking was available and the balcony totally nice during the day and the night. Beds were comfortable. 99% clean just a little dusty.

Liked the fact it was a cute cottage with spacious rooms.
Owner graciously allowed us to drop off our bags before check in time.
Main room could have been better lit.

There is a spectacular view from the deck of this cabin. It is a generous size and very clean. The walk from the free parking to the cabin is a little awkward but not long..It involves negotiating a sloped lawn and is difficult if you are handicapped. The owners were friendly and very helpful.
