The cottage was exactly as pictured - super cozy and perfect for a couple! There was only one quilt so we actually bought a comforter while we were out Saturday because we typically don’t sleep with the same blanket because we’re both blanket hogs. The host had an issue using Vernon to charge my card so I had to follow an external link to pay which I wasn’t a fan of but it worked out.Overall it was a good stay and we would book it again!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear the cottage was just as pictured and that you found it cozy and perfect for your stay. We appreciate the note about the extra bedding — that’s very helpful feedback, and we’ll make sure to review our setup so future guests have everything they need (especially fellow blanket hogs!). Thank you as well for your patience regarding the payment hiccup. We understand that wasn’t ideal and appreciate you working through it with us. We’re so glad you had a good stay overall and would love to host you again!
