Aug 21, 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Convenient and unique The cottage is situated on beautiful grounds and it was a great location for visiting family. The cottage itself was musty, which can cause breathing issues. The bed on the platform was a little difficult to maneuver, especially at night. There’s a nice deck off of the living room that we enjoyed at breakfast. ##### Alexa T.
