We had a wonderful stay at the Elk Cottage. It was mostly as the pictures describe, with the exception of the back patio fire pit, basically there wasn't one. The upper deck was lovely and the living area very comfortable. There is a washer and dryer, we had a bit of trouble with the spin cycle on the washer, it might just need a check up. The entrance is at the side of the house and there are renters in the front part of the house. The house is very private and we only saw the neighbors once. We brought our dog and he had a bit of trouble navigating steps up to the house, they are metal for catching snow and can hurt the paws. Overall, a lovely, comfortable stay in a great location in an amazing little town.
