This is not an entire cottage, it is a duplex, with NO sound proofing. The couch cushions are thin, so you sit on the frame, the table & chairs & twin beds are rickety. The curtains are sparse in the front & in the bathroom so there is a big lack of privacy, since the cottage is right on the road & there are functions at the barn behind the cottage. There is no outside lighting so you need a flashlight. However Sticks & Stone grounds were good for hiking & taking the dogs for a walk
