Summary: This cottage was perfect for the two of us! It was cozy, comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy a long, autumn weekend in our favorite area. We could tell that the owner has put in a lot of thought and work into decorating and organization. We definitely recommend this for a couple or small family.
