One day stay does not do this cottage and its magic any justice. There is so much to do in this area (dining, entertaining) and just enjoying the cedar valley. The solitude and the beauty of the grounds as well as all of the art take one away from the grinds of daily life. I will definitely come back for a longer vacation. The host was responsive and easily available. The chocolates, the greeting card, and the unique 3-D printed gift box of the Tiny House were particularly charming surprises. Thanks, ET for all the personal touches.
