Beautiful and peaceful. Fully stocked kitchen if staying in to cook. Enjoyed a glass of wine while reading on the front porch both evenings of our stay. So quiet. For July, we were worried that it would be too hot inside as there is no AC. The cottage was very cool in temperature! There is a fan and we didn't have to use it. When we read the other reviews about other guests seeing elk, we hoped to see 1 or 2. We saw 12 the first evening, woke up to another 8 grazing out back and 1 right by the kitchen window. The second evening, while sitting out on the porch, we saw about 100 elk in total, moving in herds of 12 or so, across the driveway. We aren't sure how common this is at this cottage, but we felt very fortunate to see them during our stay. Also enjoyed meeting "The Girls" (the chickens on the property). Wonderful stay! Thank you, Amy!
