The softly winding road through the pastures and by the pond will be your first indication that you're in the right place! The cottage is perfect and you'll recognize right away that a lot of TLC was put into it. You will love the amazing view from the sun room and will soon discover that you can't get enough of the rolling hills and beautiful mountains. You will find everything you need for a wonderful stay, It is cozy but spacious. The furnishings are lovely and the bed is comfortable. The host is outstanding. There is a variety of things to see and do and the people are so nice! We would highly recommend this cottage. It's a piece of Heaven!

The little cabin was perfect! It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Set back with amazing views of the property and mountains. We sat in the sunroof every morning and drank our coffee and ate dinners just looking at the views. The owner is super friendly and offers insights on food and things to do around the area. Will be booking again!!!

This listing is just as described, and so much better! What a peaceful and relaxing week I had. The cottage was the perfect size for me and my little dog. She and I both lived in the sunroom, with the big, comfortable chair, floor to ceiling windows and beautiful views. Perfect little cottage.To property is very welcoming and inviting. There are several sitting places outside also, and my dog loved the big dog run.The owner checked in with me upon arrival to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. Communication with him was excellent.This is a perfect getaway, and I will definitely be returning.
