We were in the area for a week-long day program at the Clifton Institute for our son (about a 25 min drive from the cottage). I was able to telework from the cottage (internet is great), and even chose to work outside many days.The cottage was clean, bright (in a good way), welcoming, and nicely stocked with essentials and starters. An added bonus for folks with allergies, asthma, or smell sensitivities - this property is FANTASTIC. It really is fresh and clean - "free and clear" detergent in the washer/dryer, no dryer sheet build up, no plug-ins. Easy breathing. Linda is a genuine, thoughtful, and conscientious hostess. In our experience with previous rentals, it can be challenging for some hosts to strike the right balance of available/supportive, without being intrusive. Here, we always felt at home, had our space, and could reach out with any questions or needs. We especially appreciated the recommendations for local restaurants, ice cream, and festivals. And the welcome note and goodies, were such a personal touch.We spent several evenings in the pool, met the chickens, and spent a TON of time outside. There's a lovely grassy patio area off to the side, with privacy and a view of the birds and koi pond.Great experience, and we look forward to returning next year!
