Perfect post-wedding hideaway
Cheryl and Ray went above and beyond to accommodate And respond to our crazy requests in the weeks Leading up to our wedding.
They allowed us to check in early, which was very much appreciated on our wedding day!
The hideaway was an idyllic place to ‘come home’ to after our wedding dinner. The pathway lights were so welcoming, and the place looked so inviting. Cheryl and Ray were quick to supply a vase for my wedding bouquet, which I hadn’t thought to bring with me.
The treats were perfect, and helped us not have to venture out too early. We also used them to invent our own s’mores recipe! Delicious. We enjoyed eating in the dining room very much.
We were so appreciative of the thoughtful little touches added to ensure our comfort, and we enjoyed every minute.

Magical
If you are looking for the ultimate romantic cottage getaway this is it! At first it was a surprise to not have AC and a stove but luckily we were in the shade with fans and my partner that was an excellent campfire chef! It was an amazing experience!! The owners were super accommodating— anything we needed they were there right away!
Would highly recommend this cottage getaway!
