About this property
The Little Gray Cottage
Charming cottage tucked into the edge of the woods with easy access to state paved road. This is all you'll need for a quick trip or weekend to the mountains.
The kitchen has a full-size fridge, microwave, hot plate and coffee maker. If you're serious about cooking there's a full propane grill on the screened porch overlooking the stream.
Perfect for two for a weekend get-a-way. Not good for kids or longer stays. A week works or less for us.
Guest access
Private single home, guest has access to entire home and they have total privacy.
Other things to note
All the important stuff like phone, TV and Internet. None of the unnecessary things like a full oven or range (?!).
