Great stay

Cora Cottage was exactly what we needed! The interior was VERY clean and well-appointed. And, the exterior had multiple spots for sitting and drinking coffee, then water, and then wine! We were only at Cora Cottage for two nights, which normally, to us, is a short enough time to get "carry-out" food. But, we dediced the view was too good to leave, so with a quick trip to a grocery store, we opted to fix all of our meals in the cute kitchen and eat outside on the deck!I am a walker and like to explore the area I stay in by foot. Fox Lake felt safe, was easy to walk, and pedestrian friendly (sidewalks everywhere)!Maria was incredibly responsive. And, when I had a question about the best grocery store in the area, she was quick to reply, and gave great recommendations.

This place is gorgeous. Location is fantastic. Home was spotless. Ample parking in the driveway. It is incredibly serene and peaceful.

The house was quite nice, and the view was perfect. However, I was unaware that the neighboring lot was an *active* construction site. The first day was pretty manageable, with constant nail guns in the background and the intermittent buzz of chop saws. Occasionally, sawdust would float down on us while we were chatting on the patio. The second morning, they brought in heavy machinery to excavate a well, which significantly increased noise. The final morning, I was awoken by the sound of a Bobcat-mounted jackhammer being used just outside.I imagine under normal circumstances, it would be *perfect*, but I can't really recommend it until the construction ends. Side note, the second bedroom could *really* use a small table or something. There is nowhere to sit a phone or glasses when going to sleep.
