Warm and quiet
This is a pretty little town, and it looked especially nice with the holiday lights and snow. My place was cozy and pleasant. It is so nice and quiet in the winter.

Never again
This place should not be opened from Nov to April. Their water pipe froze and no water to our room, complaint to the owner and said it was out of his control.
Shower dirty and mouldy, shower door does not stay closed.

only complaint about the property was it wasn't overly clean. lovely location, good value for the money.
there were various webs in rooms, dust on furniture, bbq was available but in rough shape.
room was spacious, lots of room throughout the cottage and quiet area to stay.

The room was clean and newly renovated. The bathroom was amazing! Rain showerhead and 2 other massaging heads. Very neat mirror where you could change the lighting with a tap. Bed was a little too firm, would have liked an extra pillow.

Wow, such a neat little spot.
Plenty of great potential here. Owner is awesome and hardworking. The area is nice and peaceful. We even had some friendly deer visitors. A few minor wear and tear around the cottage but such a great place to relax.

Looks like they had just done recent renovations. The bathroom was completely redone and had a very convenient LED mirror that adjusted brightness, very neat
