The cottage is great for a couple or small family with a large front and rear deck. Beautiful surrounding fields and wooded lots for walks around the property. The cottage sits about a 150 yards off of a relatively busy road with vehicle noise that can be heard from the house. There is another home on the property that is occupied by a permanent resident however they were not seen or heard. The property is very close to many outdoor activities. We enjoyed skiing at the Black Mountain Cross Country Trail system about 20 minutes north. Communication with the host was perfect and check in/out was without difficulty. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

Adorable cabin that had all the amenities we needed and VERY clean. The only thing we were disappointed about was that there was no snow until our last day! We would defiantly recommend this property.
