Amazing destination
What a fantastic long weekend getaway at the far far away cottage. The pictures don’t do this cottage justice, it’s absolutely stunning. Everything was better than advertised and the host was easy to communicate with. 10/10 on all fronts and will be returning next year.

Far, Far Away was perfect!
We had a little trouble finding the cottage, but that was no fault but our own as we put the directions in wrong. But...once we got there...we were blown away by the place. It was absolutely mesmerizing. Everything inside was clean and organized, not to mention there was tons of things to use! (I.e., paddle boards, paddles, kayak, fishing rods, kitchen cutlery/utilities, towels and bedding). The huge window was where I spent my rainy mornings, looking out at the gorgeous view. The host was also super active in answering any of my questions while we were there. I would say the only reason this amazing place lost a star for this review would be because of the rules left on paper at the cottage. All of them made perfect sense (how to use the fancy BBQ, how to use the dishwasher, etc.), but one of them was about taking all your garbage & recycling with you when you left, as well as make sure thr place was exactly how you found it. It made the additional $200 cleaning fee feel a bit unfair in the end. Either way, this was a wonderful experience - our indoorsy kiddo got out there and fully enjoyed the outdoorsy experience, so much that she wants to go back again next summer. Thanks, Far Far Away!

Fun at Far, far Away
Our group of six adults was fortunate to enjoy three nights at the end of July at the cottage named Far, far Away ( named for a place in the movie, Shrek) Situated on a private spring-fed lake, it is exactly as presented in the listing. The water was perfect for swimming, fishing and paddling around. The hammock was a hit too. The cottage -more like a lodge -is fully equipped and very comfortable. We had a bbq each night followed by a campfire. The wood was provided by the host. Communication with the host was excellent. I would highly recommend Far, far Away and would love to return.
