Summary: Mary was a wonderful host. The cottage was peaceful and exactly what we needed. She met us personally, showed us around her property, and even took time to share her homesteading experience when we expressed interest. She had so many resources available for guests like books, beach equipment, and local recommendations. The location feels beautifully remote, driving through fields past cows and horses to get there; but it’s still not far from anything you’d need. We hope to make it back someday.
