It was all divine, magical." - Mike & Lilian, Georgia "What an amazing gift this place is. It topped every place we have ever stayed. It provided the quiet seclusion that we always crave but rarely get. This little bamboo bungalow is the closest to heaven you can get." - Brad & Debra, California "This way the perfect place to stay for our honeymoon. It was quiet, peaceful, relaxing and not too far from most destinations. We really enjoyed our stay!" - Ashley & Kevin, Michigan Guest access As a guest of the cottage, the owner has graciously extended the use of his family pool so you'll have shared access to the amazing 40-foot fresh water swimming pool - located just a quick 3 minute walk down the driveway next to the owner's main house (with five other residents). Designed with an Asian theme in mind, this tropical pool oasis has palm trees swaying in the breeze, creating the perfect place to let your stresses slip away. A lava rock waterfall gurgles next to a shaded balinese meditation gazebo that overlooks a bridge that spans the deep end and 1-foot-deep swimming moats for small kids. Pool is available for use/share from 10 am to 6 pm but the hot tub beside the pool is for owner's private use only. The guests have their own private hot tub at their unit. DISCLAIMER: It is not a private pool but a shared pool with other residents of the main house so there are other residents who will be using the pool occasionally.
