For starters the resort is not handicapped friendly. The driveway is sloped, there are many steps to get to the front door. Once you get up there the code easily unlocked the front door. To the right is an attractive kitchen which had plenty utensils, bowls and pots and pans. There wasn’t a dishwasher so everything has to be washed by hand with a sponge and detergent which they supplied. The appliances were new and the refrigerator was large but did not dispense ice or water. There is an ice machine in the lower level. The dining room was to left which was adequate. The living room/gathering space was off the dining room. It was on the small side but nicely decorated with a fireplace.Off the living room there were steps leading to the upper level where there were two bedrooms with lots of sleeping space according to my sister.

Absolutely perfect vacation spot. Our second year at the Sapphire Cottage and we hope to return next year!
