Great spot in a great location. Place was fully stocked with everything you need the kitchen & more. Beds were comfy & the big table by window was our favorite spot for family games. We will be back! Thanks for everything.

Sweet cottage with a great view
Chris’s place is so adorable and clean and calm. If you want a relaxing stay on Bowen ideally
located near the village but far enough away to not hear the tourists, this is the place! Thank you so much, Chris- our stay was exactly what we needed!
