We had a little time finding it and eventually asked the across-the-street neighbors (who were delightful!). Everything we needed was available (except a vegetable steamer and a cutting board). Didn't miss an air conditioner as the fan was completely fine. The front deck was so comfortable and we spent most of our time out there. The propane BBQ was wrapped with some aluminum foil and we were unable to get it started anyway so that was fine too. Everything was great and I'm pretty sure we will return. Thanks!

A good friend and I stayed here in July for a few days. Cute little place, pretty private, with nice front views of the trees. We travelled to nearby state parks for looks at fossils and into the past when the area was covered with water. No air conditioning for the fan provided was completely adequate. Both kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedrooms were great. Kitchen was missing a couple of necessities (in my opinion) such a a cutting board and a vegetable steamer but it was still fun to prepare and cook a meal there. The deck outside was wonderful although the gas BBQ didn't work. We played board games out there while we watched the hummingbirds feed and listened to the relaxing sounds of nature and NOTHING. So much fun. Definitely would go back. Thanks for the experience!
From the owner: "Thank you for staying! And thank you for the tips! A vegetable steamer would be a great idea. So sorry about the barbecue the igniter on it can be a little finicky. We have a grill lighter in the cottage in the event the igniter won't function. You are wonderful guests we would love to have you back!"
