We stayed for three nights with a group of six that included a four-month-old baby and a five-year-old. As others have pointed out there are a few things to be aware of, but overall we loved our stay and found the owner (Janet) to be extremely kind and generous with her time.

A few of our favorite things about the property:

* The cottage is on a large plot of land and feels very secluded. There are other buildings on the property (game room, barn, owner's house, chicken coop, goat shelter, etc.), but the cottage still feels private and the setting it very picturesque when you pull in.

* There are many dear roaming the property, as well as the chickens and goats kept by the owner. Janet was very sweet with our five-year-old, introducing him to "Salt and Pepper" (the goats) and letting him get an egg from the chicken coop for her.

* Having so much space and a variety of activities available meant we spent more time enjoying ourselves on site instead of running around the island. We played catch in the yard, visited the game room for ping-ping and pool, drove an r/c boat in the water right off the dock, walked over to visit the chickens and goats, and enjoyed dinner and wine on the deck at night.

I wouldn't consider the following items "cons" per se, just things to be aware of:

* The cottage has one bathroom that can only be accessed from the master bedroom. With four adults and a five-year-old, this meant whoever stayed in the master bedroom had to be okay with people coming in and out of the bedroom for late-night bathroom breaks.

* The property does have wifi/internet, but it offers just enough speed to check email and browse a few websites if you're patient. Anything more intensive (like streaming video) is a no-go, so if you're planning on having a "working vacation" keep this in mind.

* You may or may not have cell service in this area. In our group we had AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon users. We all seemed to flip-flop between "No Service" and one bar service depending on where we were in the area. Again, just something to keep in mind.

* The upstairs loft is great for kids (our five-year-old loved it), but the ladder access means it should probably be limited to older kids due to safety concerns. It's a steep climb up/down, and we didn't feel comfortable letting him sleep in the loft alone due to the fear of a fall during a late-night bathroom break.

Overall, a wonderful property. We would happily stay here again.
