Our Rupert Cottage has one bedroom with a queen bed. The space comfortably sleeps two people, however, two more could easily sleep in the living room with a sofabed we've added to the space. The sofabed is great for lounging during the day, but can easily be converted to sleeping arrangements for two. The unit has a kitchen equipped with basic kitchen supplies including a full size refrigerator, electric stove, microwave, and storage space. This cottage has one bathroom. Please keep in mind, this cottage is considered a tiny home, so the bathroom is on the smaller side. The bathroom includes a vanity space, toilet, and shower.
**Important item to note for the Rupert Bear Cottage, there is no central heat in the unit. We have placed electric heaters in the living room and bedroom to help with those colder days and nights.**
There is not a dishwasher in this cottage. We provide our guests with dish soap, a sponge, and drying rack for dirty dishes. Also, rather than an iron and board, we have provided our unit with a hand held steamer instead.
Complimentary Wifi! (25mbps)
