Everything at the cottage was well thought out and exactly as shown. We spent most of our time outside but inside was cozy, comfy and clean. The screened in porch was perfection to allow us to be outside without being eaten by bugs! We will definitely be back!

Nice cozy spot to relax after a day of wine tasting. Great location. Steep drop off to the waters edge. On a 2 lane road. Not much traffic but when there is it's faster than expected. Beautiful overall. Easy access & prompt host response.
