We had a great time staying for 3 nights at the cottage while visiting friends, Manitou Springs and the Olympic Museum, and riding bikes and the cog railway. The location was perfect and the neighborhood was safe and quiet. The cottage looks just like the photos and was very well equipped throughout the unit. I would suggest adding a few items in the kitchen (dish drainer for sink, wine glasses, a recycle bin, pencil sharpener for the pencils included with the note paper, an acrylic/plastic cutting board instead of wood for food safety, a pair of scissors), batteries for the clock in the living room and curtain pullback hardware for the north windows (similar to the ones on the east side bedroom windows). Another suggestion would be to consolidate some of the kitchen items in the cabinets so that guests have some cabinet room to store shelf stable food instead of leaving it all on the countertop. All in all a fun visit, a homey place to come back to at the end of the day. Carol the owner was always very prompt and cordial in all her communications with us. Thank you!
