Red cottage retreat
The cottage was clean and cozy. The second "bedroom" is just a den, with a room divider screen for privacy. The twin bunk beds are not stacked, but are side by side. If you plan to use the kitchen, be sure to bring a few things that are missing: whisk, hot pads, sponge for dishes. Also, bring your own laundry detergent if you plan to do any laundry (families with kids take note!). It was overall adequate for our needs staying in the area to explore the big state parks. The area was quiet (it was off-season), and even though communications said we needed a parking permit, none was left for us in the cottage, and outreach to the management team via text received no reply. I suspect this is a bigger issue during the high season.

Great for a short getaway
Cozy cabin outside of Ottawa and a short drive to Starved Rock. The second bedroom is an open den—not a separate bedroom with a door, although there was a screen in the master bedroom closet for a little more privacy. I wasn’t able to reach management after hours when I realized there were no sheets or blankets for the sofa bed but they did respond once the office reopened in the morning. Overall a good stay!
