Guests will have access to their own private cottage as well as use of the grounds. There is a BBQ area and Fire Pit. We provide propane for the grill and the wood and charcoal is bring your own. There is a spot right down the road that sells camp wood. Please leave the area as you found it. Clean up any mess and make sure the fire is expelled completely before leaving it unattended.
Things to note: -These cottages are bedrooms only and do not have full kitchens. -Parking is directly in front of the cottage leaving the gravel road clear for other cars to pass. -This is one of 7 cottages, 5 apartments and a 4 bedroom house on the property. -The Internet service is slow in the area, it is OK but can be effected by anything from wind to humidity, even connected directly to the router it can be slow and spotty. We are in a wooded area between two large hills outside of town. The service provider is working to expand its coverage and we can only hope it will get better.
