After an incredibly busy and hectic month, this cottage and its yard and view were just what we needed to "recharge". The cottage is very, very clean and comfortable. We were amazed at how roomy it is; it's much bigger inside than you would think from the outward appearance. It would comfortably fit 5 people; although if there were more than just the 2 of us, the French doors between the master and living room would not have allowed for much privacy. I agree with another reviewer that curtains on those would be a good idea.

Also, the master is large and very light and airy, but it does get very bright in there upon sunrise...fine for hubby who's always awake early anyway, but I would have appreciated some way to darken the room.

The outside shower is amazing!! If it's a nice day, do not even bother showering inside...showering under the canopy of a tree with the sun overhead is the most awesome experience ever! And I have never been in one with a separate changing area!

The peace and quiet and serenity of the pond were incredible. It was fun to watch the many kayakers and paddle boaters come by in the afternoons. And because there are no motorized vehicles on the river or pond, they did not disturb the peace and quiet one bit, but rather added to the whole experience. We spent most of our at-home time in the yard or on the deck.

We have one recommendation for potential renters: do not feed the geese!! Apparently, someone before us had fed them, for as soon as they saw us the first day, about a dozen came into the yard and deposited lots of little "presents" for us. But because we ignored them, they did not return, fortunately. Perhaps it was just their way of welcoming us to the 'hood, but we could have done without their visit. LOL

All in all, a very relaxing, enjoyable little escape to Cape Cod! Thank you, Paul...your little cottage is fabulous!
