The house was clean and well prepared with everything we needed, and the hot tub was ready to go on arrival. The view of the tub, woods, and little bridge across the private section of creek is absolutely stunning in the morning light. The road is close but not too busy, and the porch swing is a nice place to have your morning tea or coffee as we did. Overall very clean and cozy location.
My only reservations were in how little space to prep food there was - not everyone looks to cook big meals on a weekend getaway, but it was a big part of our plans! We made due but it would have been nice to have more realistic expectations of the kitchen workspace. The Hot Tub also had a slight bee problem - we tried to redirect them by putting out sugar water but they were just in love with the hot tub vapor. Thats a difficult issue to solve without harming the bees (which we'd never want to happen), so it's just something to take note of. Luckily the little cottage cools down quickly as the sub sets in the evenings thanks to the high ground on all sides, so the bees turned in long before we did.
Overall we had MANY more "wow, thats nicer than expected"/from what we could tell from the photos type moments than the few little unexpected slight inconveniences. We knew within minutes of entering we want to stay here again some day, and would recommend the place in a heartbeat. The rental company was prompt and polite at every step and that was the cherry on top!
