The unit has a kitchen equipped with basic kitchen supplies including a full size refrigerator, electric stove, microwave, and storage space. This cottage has one bathroom. Please keep in mind, this cottage is considered a tiny home, so the bathroom is on the smaller side.

We have placed electric heaters in the living room and bedroom to help with those colder days and nights.\*\* There is not a dishwasher in this cottage. We provide our guests with dish soap, a sponge, and drying rack for dirty dishes. Also, rather than an iron and board, we have provided our unit with a hand held steamer instead. Complimentary Wifi!
