The Swiss Cottage is a real gem! We would gladly return in summer or winter.
The home is thoughtfully appointed from top to bottom - we enjoyed cooking and dining at the large dining table and then retiring to the large communal area with comfy couch and a variety of DVDs and shows to choose from in the evening. We enjoyed using the outdoor gas grill one evening and sharing the twilight with the busy hummingbirds and other fauna. While we didn't see a moose in the actual neighborhood, we did see two sets of ears across the street on a nearby trail, early one morning. This cottage is conveniently located off the main road, yet surprisingly private. There is some road noise when all the windows are open, though apart from the occasional pack of Harley riders, it is relatively calm. We loved being near nature! There are several local trails and creeks that we visited almost daily. We enjoyed heading up the mountain to the Brighton resort and doing the Silver Lake stroll, as well as having pizza and ice cream at the Solitude resort one night. The bathroom is funky and fun - a sunken tub allows you to feel almost as if you are bathing in nature. The upstairs den was perfect for our kiddo, with plenty of twin beds and puzzles and toys to entertain (and keep him up at night!). The main bedroom downstairs had an ample closet and plenty of space to store bags and things. We loved having coffee on the deck each morning and wandering around to meet Lulu, the cat down the road. What a pleasant experience at your cottage and thank you for all of the hospitality!
