Cathy's Cottages
We enjoyed our stay very much. Jetted tub was nice and hot. And clean. Fireplace was nice. Only come was that we weren't able to get any wifi during our 2 night stay which I understand being on a mountain. We still enjoyed our stay very much. Will definitely recommend and book again.
