Amazing quiet and cozy cottage, fast internet, close to everything

My wife and I (and our cat Leo) had an amazing extended stay at the cottage. Everything was perfect. Some highlights:- The desk upstairs was a great place to do remote work, internet was fast and reliable.- The beds were all soft and cozy.- The TVs worked perfect, our entertainment needs were met.- The tub is wide and deep, perfect for long soaks.- The kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances you need to prepare and cook whatever you desire.- The neighborhood was beautiful, lots of wildlife .(Rabbits, Birds and Deer) and a lot of walking and hiking trails nearby.- Host was great to work with, thank you!
