Clean well equipped kitchen with fridge a burner dishwasher coffee maker. Everything you need. Was very comfortable and cozy. The horses come right up to you along the fence. Was the best place we stayed on this trip.
Beautiful cottage. So peaceful to lookout on the horses. Would definitely stay again. Check-in and check- out very easy. Cottage well equipped with the basics for cooking simple meals.

Wonderful stay! It was raining and cold while we were there so we didn't get to interact with the horses too much but the room was lovely and it provided a very comfortable stay.
