Our family traveled from across the USA and booked three rooms, all in the same building, for six nights over Christmas. Best decision ever! The check-in process was very easy, and we were thrilled with our rooms. We were escorted to the rooms by Terese and given the basic information for our stay. Breakfast daily is included, and the instructions are easy to follow. Any other supplies (soap, shampoo, towels. etc.) can also be requested with ease. We fell in love with The Cottage Inn when we saw their website and booked our trip, but we really didn't expect the place would live up to the photos. We were wrong. The actual location and the charming cottages, which were covered in about a foot of snow, blew us away! It was like being in a Hallmark Christmas movie! Each room is decorated based on a unique theme. My husband and I stayed in Sail Away. Our adult daughter stayed in Dream Catcher. And our adult son and his wife stayed in Sierra Siesta. We were all very happy with our rooms. (FYI, Sail Away is an accessible room, and the bathroom is outfitted accordingly. It worked for us.) Our room was on the first floor, and our kids were on the second floor via separate entrances. This gave us all enough privacy with convenient proximity to each other. We spent most of our time as a family in the Sail Away room, but our children spent quite a bit of time together in the Dream Catcher room because of it's size and layout. The rooms are equipped with a mini refrigerator but no microwave, which we did miss on a few occasions (to reheat what we couldn't eat at breakfast) but managed without. There is also a coffee maker in the room, and the coffee supplied was excellent. Sugar, raw sugar, and sugar substitutes are provided, as well as creamers. If you run low, they will bring you more. Just ask. Breakfast is requested the night before via a checklist of items that you hang outside the door. You also select your preferred delivery time: 7:30-8:00, 8:00-8:30, 8:30-9:00, or 9:00-9:30. Lots of options to choose from, and most of us just asked for one of each item, but you can request as many of each item as you like. This includes a nice sized piece of quiche or frittata, a fresh pastry, a hard-boiled egg, plain yogurt, a fruit cup, and house made granola. Yum! Also included are plastic utensils, a napkin, and salt and pepper. Everything is packaged beautifully in a pastry box and delivered by a staff member with a smile. We were all stuffed every day, and breakfast was definitely one of the highlights! The quiche and frittata change every day. Our favorite was the one with potatoes, but there was also a Mexican version served with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream on the side. The fact that these were Christmas colors served on Christmas day was not lost upon us! There is a lot of attention to detail here! The location is just off of a busy roadway, but we never heard the traffic indoors. Rather, we were all quite comfortable and cozy by the gas fireplac
