Weekend getaway

Enjoyed our stay. Minor things to improve. Spotty WiFi, ants in the kitchen, and dishwasher did not clean properly. Otherwise, a delight.

clean, but basic

This community is in development and will become something special in the future. Right now, it is bare bones. The cottage we rented was clean and basic, but many of the items need replacement or repair (kitchen table, bed headboard, swivel chair). There are no extra blankets; only a duvet for the bed and a sheet for the pull out sofa bed. Additionally, the kitchen had nice appliances but was missing a toaster and only 1 dish towel and 2 diswasher pods (we bought more since we stayed 3 nights). FYI, bring your own cooking spices, oil/butter and additional cutlery and dishes depending on how you cook. We suspect that the warmer month include crowded areas and noise (we heard adults yelling back and forth between porches after 9pm). Overall though, a nice place.
