The cottage itself was lovely. Well styled and exactly as pictured. Awesome king size bed and it is very comfortable. There was an overwhelming air freshener smell when we walked in. It is a dog friendly rental, and that was clear when we unplugged the plug-in freshener so we could breathe better, and it seems like maybe the wet dog smell is in the area rug? But all in all, the cottage was very clean. We wished the cottage itself was farther from the main house. Didn't realize it was so close to the "lodge", which is rented out by locals, and because of that, we didn't feel as "alone" as we would have liked. In the evenings and on weekends, if you left the shades open, everyone in the main house could, if they wanted to, see what was going on in the cottage, so we opted to just keep the shades closed. It was, however, VERY quiet despite being close to the main house, which is one of the biggest things we look for in a rental. All in all, a comfortable, quiet home in a lovely, wooded setting only mins from town.
