There is so much to say about Charlie’s cottage, it has something for everyone, games for the kids, beds galore, comfortable furniture, amazing views, pet friendly, lots of kitchen appliances, plenty of sheets and blankets, really everything you can wish for is there. The hosts are readily available with quick responses whenever we had a question. They also let us know when inclement weather was near the area so we wouldn’t be caught unawares.
