    The property was very clean, peaceful and beautiful. It was kind of a bummer to have to drive 10-30 minutes to do anything but it’s ok.

    Everything was neat but there was a layer of dirt all over the surfaces that was easy enough to clean but just inconvenient. There were several people staying behind us so parking was an issue as we parked in areas very close. I understood it to say beach access but in reality it is an extremely far walk and then down treacherous steps to the beach so several of us couldn’t get to it for obvious health reasons and age . It was certainly pleasant enough and roomy enough for the 3 older ladies ( sisters and Mother) that stayed but it had no stove so cooking was minimum , that was a big disappointment as we like to cook for ourselves and not have to eat out a lot.

    Your home is just perfect.It was immaculate and so comfy. It has two generous bedrooms and a nice roomy bathroom. The kitchenette is just what you need on a vacation and thank Heaven for the washer and dryer that save on packing. Of course you would be remiss if you did not drool over the view of Horsehead Bay and the snow capped mountains in the distance. We are looking forward to staying in your cottage again during our next visit to our daughter.

    It was a nice enough property. Owners are a busy family but, responsive to any issues. Some older kitchen supplies, a couple of clean but stained towels, couch well used.We bought a vacuum as we were a long stay.It suited our needs, had a pretty view, and we would stay there again. We bought a vacuum because we long stay.

    Stayed here for a full week. Clean and beautifully decorated. Had almost everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood and deer every morning to greet us. It was only 12 minutes from my Grandmas house on Wollochett Bay.
