First, you should know that the cottage living area is bigger than it looks in the pictures. I actually hesitated to reserve this location because the perspective in the pictures made it look a little small. (No criticism there, I know it can be hard to angle a camera to get everything you want in an image, especially internal shots around furniture.) It is definitely quiet in the morning, and I can confirm seeing deer. Crickets! I forget how I miss hearing crickets living in an apartment! There's enough comfortable seating for 3 (or 4 if there's a couple that wants to snuggle). The bathroom has all the basics, and be sure to check the closet if you are missing a toothbrush or need a shower cap or want to pick from a selection of body wash/shampoo. The kitchen is standard size for a unit like this. It's got space for prepping a small meal. Plenty of pillows and extra blankets. The owner's house is nearby, but except for seeing their cars, I didn't know they were there. (I'm a "likes to be alone" traveler, so that works for me. But I did see other guests talk about how approachable they are, so don't worry about this if you enjoy the interaction.) Between the extreme heat and significant rain, I sadly didn't get to use the hammock or walk the grounds. Madison was very responsive to my messages and sent significant information before arrival.
