My husband (of 20+yrs) and I just spent 2 nights in the cottage and had one of the most enjoyable B&B stays ever! The cottage is fully equipped, clean, cozy, eclectic, artsy, and fits snugly on a hillside next to the main house within a lush, natural landscape. It's like a dollhouse in a secret garden.
