Heaven
The property is AMAZING. The cottage is small but has everything you could need. It is quaint and charming and the wall AC units are remarkably strong. The bed was very comfortable and the WiFi was good for remote work. If you are looking for peace, quiet and beauty in nature while still being able to access the hustle and bustle, this slice of heaven is perfect.

Stay at horse farm
The host was amazing; very attentive even willing to provide tour. We lived close by for years and were back to visit family so great location as we already knew the area well. House is small as name suggests 'Cottage' wouldn't suggest more than 2 - 3 at the most. Cottage was quaint and well equipped with everything. Very quiet and safe and scenic. We would stay again if back in area
