What a great place to spend a few days! Linda and Todd's cottage is extremely easy to find and access, quiet, clean, and comfortable, and you couldn't ask for a nicer location. The scenery is beautiful and the area is peaceful and quiet, but you're within a short drive of many great things to do and places to go.
