100% perfection! Communication with host was easy. Cottage was fully stocked with everything we needed. Planned our meals ahead of time, picked up groceries on the way, & the kitchen had what we needed to cook them. A filtered water pitcher & carafe was waiting in the fridge, along with bottled water. Coffee maker uses K-cups (which we didn’t bring), but host provides a great variety of K-cups & hot teas.Plenty of super soft, absorbent bath towels for all 7 of us, & more than enough hot water for back-to-back showers. We loved that the toilet & shower were separate from the bathroom sinks, it made getting ready much easier. A hairdryer was provided, along with full-size shampoo & body wash.Each bedroom has a ceiling fan, comfy beds, & plenty of space for our stuff. The two separate living areas were perfect: the kids took the downstairs & loved their own space & outdoor balcony, while the upstairs open-concept living, dining, & kitchen area made it easy to spend time together. The dining table was perfect for games. The back porch quickly became a favorite spot to gather & listen to the creek, & the kids even went down to get their feet wet. There’s also a washer & dryer, though we didn’t use them.Only 2 minor “downsides”: slightly bumpy driveway (easy to manage if you drive slowly) & no TVs in the bedrooms-not an issue for us.Overall, I’d rate this cottage a 15/10. Everything was exactly as described, it was still decorated for Christmas, & we can’t wait to go back!
