Takes the Time and it Shows
Review Submitted: September 23, 2009
Date of Stay: September 2009
In searching for properties, we came across so many that just had the most minimal of descriptions and amenities. As attested in other reviews, Brooke has taken time and care with the cottage and it shows. But, more importantly for future renters, she took the time to include additional information in her description that was crucial in choosing her cottage. And Brooke took a lot of care answering all of our questions before arriving including multiple attachments for directions, activities, and surrounding points-of-interest.
Because my wife and I were visiting with our 1.5 yr old toddler, we didn't eat out too much so the full kitchen was definitely key for us. We enjoyed a lot of walking on Capitol Island and on several of the areas hiking trails which all have these serene views of the beautiful landscape of pine trees, the multiple bays and rivers, and the quaint little cottages that dot the coastline. The Railway Village was also very cute and our son enjoyed riding the train, being pulled in a barrel train by a tractor, and just walking around the "frozen in time" village.
We would absolutely recommend this to anyone and would stay here again if we come back to visit the area in the future. Thanks!

Owner's Response: Thank you Marlene and David. As a cottage owner it is nice to be appreciated for all that goes into a "full service" rental. This cottage is not an investment only, it is family owned and a very special little place. I do try to help future guests with anything that could help them with their holiday vacation, like where the restaurants with the best food are, the best scenic drives, boat trips to take for particular interests and even what "day to day living items" they would need to bring in case they have never rented a property before. I like to find out when a guest inquires about my cottage what sort of things they are looking to do and I try to do the legwork for them so they don't lose precious time once they are here. I don't just rent a cottage, I try to make each and every future guest have the most memorable time of their life, this is how I grew up, by renting cottages for our family vacations and how special those times were with family, as a nation we are falling apart and if my little cottage can bring a family together with great memories that is what I can do for the future of our world. thank you again Marlene and David, we hope to see you again some day soon!
