The cottage was very big and the backyard space was huge, amazing moutain views. Jane was very helpful.There was also a really cute room at the top which had enough space for a family of 4 and there were stunning views from the windows.The trampoline was the most fun my kids ever had on a trampoline. Breakfast was provided in the cottage.
