The host, Linda, welcomed us like old friends. The cottage was spacious, very clean, and thoughtfully furnished with comfortable seating, a fully equipped kitchen, quality toiletries, and even a woodstove. Outdoors is a slice of rural heaven--mountains, meadows, a stream, and cottage garden. We spotted a 10-point buck several times in the adjacent woods.
