Our Happy Place #2

The unit was well-equipped with most everything you need. It was clean and orderly, other than a few dusty lamps and nik-naks here and there. The ladder to the front loft if quite dangerous, and the steps are pitched strangely...definitely for kids to ascend only! The rear loft was nice. The only real disappointment was the view. The pictures online are a bit misleading.

Parking was a bit of a problem

Loved the cottage! Parking was a bit of a problem though. Very congested, tight parking area. We stayed there near the end of October. I can't imagine how the parking situation would be in the height of summer.
