I enjoyed a personal getaway at the Cabernet Cottage. The cottage was clean, tidy and quaint. It was in a rather remote location which was exactly what I was looking for. I would definitely return!
We enjoyed staying at the cottage. Though small, it had just about everything we would want. A small TV and WiFi would be a nice addition, but it wasn't a deal breaker for us. Overall a good experience and Kiki was quick to respond with any questions we had.
