The location is ideal, the place is immaculate and comfortable, and the amenities (bikes, kayaks, bathroom, kitchen) were thoughtful additions. Jim was a fantastic host, extremely responsive and helpful. Prior to check-in we were sent a list of things to do/see/eat and it helped us make the most of our time there with advanced planning. This is a great summer/fall getaway cottage. ##### maria U.
