We had such a lovely stay here! Wildflower Cottage is even more spacious than it seems in the pictures. The hot tub was easy to use and the host provided cleaner for it, and the fireplace inside kept us nice and toasty when we would come back inside. I highly recommend ordering firewood using the services at the cabin too, Chad arrived within 15 minutes with enough wood for us to use all weekend. I did struggle a little with check in, but that was my own fault for not screenshotting the instructions before losing service. But the wifi was easy to connect to and solved that problem! Will definitely be back!
