Splendid Retreat

My adult daughters and I planned a week long vacation. We truly enjoyed the cottage and can only describe it as a tranquil retreat. It was immaculately clean. The layout was perfect to come together and visit while enjoying the view of picturesque grounds that were beautifully landscaped. We had everything we could possibly need from the kitchen to the bath. The owner was an absolute delight and made sure to make us feel welcome.

Beautiful Setting

Overall our stay went well…there were things that I would like to see different. The main living area to sit and visit in was just the big island and dining table. No couch or chairs available which wasn’t a huge issue but just something I was not use to.

Serenity

This place is amazing. Loved, loved, loved it. It was so relaxing and Barbara was very precious. We honestly did not want to leave. I would definitely stay there again if I am ever in Parkland. However, if you are a chef or love to cook the kitchen was definitely lacking appliances. No blender, no mixer, no proper cutting knives, no measuring cups, no graters etc. If you love to eat out instead of cooking then you would have no problem finding good places to eat. The kitchen situation was the only drawback for me.

My family and I stayed at this property for four nights and enjoyed the beautifully designed cottage, spacious kitchen, large bathrooms, and peaceful views of the pond from the porch. We also appreciated the full-size washer and dryer. Barbara, the owner, made us feel welcome to her cottage which is in a private family compound. The main section of the guest cottage is the large open kitchen and eating area. Our family didn't miss having a living area (couch, television, etc) because there were televisions in the bedrooms, and we spent most of the time on the porch during our stay. We would return.

An Eden Within An Oasis

We enjoyed delightful views of small bodies of water from every window, and an expansive, well-appointed, well-stocked kitchen. Even though our stay was in the depths of winter, the house is so well situated and the grounds so nicely designed, that it was a pleasure beyond expectations. Barbara was even kind enough to allow us to reschedule to a later time after our Christmas Eve Eve flight was cancelled due to a deep freeze. Highly recommended!
