It was a nice two bedroom cottage/home. We knew there were steps going up to the cottage. We were fine with the stairs just our dog had a hard time due to her arthritis but we managed okay. Everything was great! There was coffee and cream and hot chocolate.

Beautiful cottage stay

Sylvia and Don's cottage was a perfect spot for a weekend getaway. We loved the location: close to town, but a little out of the way and with access to the water. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the eagles swoop in and out of the trees and down to the water. The cottage is well appointed and very clean and comfortable. It's always a bonus to find places where our dog is also welcome!
