Summary: Your home is just perfect.It was immaculate and so comfy. It has two generous bedrooms and a nice roomy bathroom. The kitchenette is just what you need on a vacation and thank Heaven for the washer and dryer that save on packing. Of course you would be remiss if you did not drool over the view of Horsehead Bay and the snow capped mountains in the distance. We are looking forward to staying in your cottage again during our next visit to our daughter.
