Host met us when we pulled up and oriented us. Super friendly and pointed out the nearby biking trails. Cottage had everything we needed and had really nice decor. We will definitely stay here next time! Bonus was the beautiful star jasmine fragrance blowing through the open balcony doors, at sunset and the other flowers in bloom in the gardens.
