Scenery is amazing, cottage was better than it looked on the site. Spa was awesome, needed more firewood cause we went through it all and the horse came right up to our door on the last day to greet us which we were stoked about. Needed more apples though, the boy can eat!! Would recommend to anyone and already have. Thanks again, Corey and Yvette ##### Corey B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vin D. 12 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hinterland recluse Small self contained cottage with a great indoor fireplace. Cosy and warm. Peaceful and quiet. Perfect for professionals that want to reconnect with nature or simply eliminate the sounds of the city for a while. My wife and I stayed a week and found it perfect to unwind and recharge. Thanks again to our gracious hosts and the clever white horse.... ##### Vin D. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2021 ---
