Amongst the trees, away from it all and at the end of a long private driveway sits Garden Cottage; even though you feel completely secluded you are close to the ocean, parks, maybe stop by one or all of the many gourmet farm stands in the area, just enjoy the deck and the trees or in 18 minutes be at the famous Saturday market and all that Ganges has to offer.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Beautiful house, with a great view saw lots of deer in the back in the morning. They have everything in the kitchen for cooking, just sure you bring your own oil and stuff like that, otherwise they have basically everything else.

The Garden Cottage was a very cozy retreat for my husband, myself and my mother to spend the weekend while attending a family wedding. We found the cottage very clean with lovely cottage decor containing all the necessary amenities. Surrounded by beautiful forest and morning birdsong, it was a nice quiet getaway we all thoroughly enjoyed.
