Guest Comments: We loved the cottage and the amenities. Great experience over all - would like to point out the drive way was very steep, and gravel/sand - so difficult to get our cars up and out of the driveway - it would have been good to know that going into the week

CCR Reply: Thanks for the feedback, great point about the driveway, we've added the note for future. Team CCR
