It was certainly an adventure getting to the cottage whilst folliwing the directions 🤔 But the property was even better than we had expected

Middle of nowhere!
Literally in the middle of nowhere but if you like that sort of thing this is the place to be. We loved it for a few nights. House was great, road to get there was not but we have 4 wheel drive and our kids thought it was hilarious.
