Joan was attentive and genuinely helpful. Marty also greeted us warmly. What stood out most was Joan’s graciousness throughout our stay, from the thoughtful details in the cottage to her kind assistance during and afterward—truly the mark of a host who goes the extra mile. The cottage sits kitty‑corner to the main house with a small patio space outside. From the patio, there is a view into the main house, but Joan was very thoughtful about drawing her shades whenever we were out, offering us an added sense of privacy. Inside, the space is comfortable and functional. The electric skylight helps with cooling and with gas stove top venting, which we found useful to also refresh the space. The bathroom is nicely appointed and quite compact, accommodating one person at a time. The large closet with the ceiling-to-wall mirrors adds to the sense of spaciousness.The kitchen is well-suited for quick breakfasts and light meals, although we did more. Both beds were comfortable, without sags. The loft bed is set directly on the floor, accessed by very sturdy steps (not stairs but also not a ladder) with solid handrails that help one duck into the loft space. The ceiling fan seemed close when descending, but it never caused trouble; we preferred having the fan off during descent. Helpful additional photos: loft bed itself, view from top of railed steps downward to show fan and kitchen and apex, interior of second door with railed steps in front, new grill, bathroom.
