The property is in such a beautiful spot secluded and quiet. It can be a little difficult to find in the dark. Get there early the first night. Immaculately clean. We didn’t need to cook a lot. There isn’t an actual stove but there are other cooking items provided. The bed was very comfortable.

Great, first impression, as we made contact with the owner on the day of our arrival and received prompt responses and clear answers to our questions. Directions provided to the location also very helpful. Once we entered the cottage, kids were stoked to check out their loft, which was far beyond expectation. The entire residence appeared well cared for, modern, as well as thoughtful of guests.Property immerses you at the foot of towering mountains, a brook that runs through the front yard and the river just steps away, the highway can be heard at a distance when outside. However, inside the insulation and acoustics of the cottage so well constructed excluded any notice of that.Felt it was well worth the value, to stay, but the one thing that would make it better, which is out of the control of the owner, but in the area, would be if Grover hot springs were more reliable…
