Ricardo and Angela were great to deal with every step of the way with prompt and clear communication. We stayed at Casa Mariposa with family and friends over New Year’s week and the cottage had everything we needed and met or exceeded all our expectations. We all thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and sauna and many open spaces where we could hang out together. The games room in the basement with the large screen & projector television was a huge hit. We would very much like to hang out here in the summer! Gordon Chabot
