This cottage is absolutely beautiful. It has lots of room and so much potential. First off it was so much more than we were expecting when we booked! We pulled in and It really is beautiful from the outside. The inside is spacious but dated and could use some updating. Pictures and decor are very old, but had nothing to do with our stay, so just an observation. I will do a thorough review of the good and the needs improvement. The main floor bedroom would be better if it had a normal bed and not one 5inches from the ground. Although if this was for teens or kids it may have been ok, just not 50+ adults. Bedrooms upstairs were ok, there are holes in the drywall above the twin bed in kids room which should be fixed. The house could use a really good cleaning, but overall was tidy. Silverware, dishes, pots and pans are extremely old. Can opener did not work which was frustrating because I needed it, and along with the cutlery and all utensils are probably easily 50yrs+ old, finding a sharp knife was a challenge. We had to basically wash all dishes and anything we used in the kitchen before hand. We did not use the dishwasher as we did not feel it did a great job. All that being said if you are not extremely picky this place was amazing for the price. It had all the basic amenities you would need and really is stunning. With a good cleaning and some updating this could be a 5 star resort! Basement is being worked on which is a great sign but overall is lots of fun with lots to do for the kids. Ping pong, foosball etc. There is a pool table upstairs that is fun but again it’s old and has one of the pockets held together with what ever was available. Although it does not make it unusable so it’s good. It snowed while we were there and there was no snow removal of the driveway so lucky we were able to get in and out ok. It’s 10-15mins to town for groceries or anything you need, this was very handy. Lots of room to sit and spread out, couches were comfy but again old, and we were afraid one may break before we left. Fireplace was lovely and we used it daily. Sadly we had skiiing booked that got cancelled due to the covid shutdown. Lots of counter and cupboard space. We used the bbq and had no problems. Beautiful porch, I imagine it would be a fantastic place to sit and have a coffee in the spring, summer and fall even.
We really enjoyed our stay and would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you for our stay!
