We were lucky that Kathleen had an opening for our mini vacation since our host for original reservation had to cancel last minute. The cottage is spacious, clean and very comfortable. Kathleen provided clear instructions and was easily reachable when needed. We dealt with limited internet connectivity and neighborhood barking dogs which we know is no fault of Kathleen’s. We do wish check in could have been earlier than 4 but overall our experience was very positive.

Pros: Lovely host who must live on site. Very clean. Quiet. Had tons of kitchen stuff,blankets, towels, etc. Cons- the window units that should be heating were only somtimes working and there was cold air from outside coming in around the unit. It was 12* out the first night and we woke up freezing. The host brought us an extra heater which helped a lot for the next and last night. Also, if we wanted to check in before 4pm we had to pay a fee for every hour earlier and we had an event we were going to at 12. 4 seems quite late. Even 2 would have been helpful. Byt now that I know her a bit, I think she d have let us at least drop our stuff off there. I d stay again

Everything went smoothly. Cute cottage and whimsical lit up back yard with matching hot tub. You do need to reserve hot tub times due to multiple units. All in all, a good experience. Kathleen, the host, was very nice and accommodating.

Karen is "The Hostess with The Mostess!" She was exceptionally communicative and quick to respond to our questions and requests. The cottage was well-appointed with a fun bear theme. Compared to a Lake Tahoe cabin, you get quite the square footage, privacy, and even a back yard space with shade for the summertime heat, a BBQ, and picnic table. The queen-sized bed was very comfortable as were the leather couches in the living room. If you visit the "Serenity Spa," you are in for a real treat! The hot tub is so Awesome, that we are actually thinking about buying one. The jets give a great relaxing massage, it puts on a light show, and has waterfalls. The whole garden of Eden is lit up at night like you are in Alice and Wonderland. Open 24/7 if you are quiet and respectful. Enjoy this little secret paradise!
