Walkthrough:
Springhill includes two separate cottages, each with two levels (both included in rental). From the parking pad, there are terraced steps up the hill to the upper cottage. Entry to the upper cottage is onto the living room, which is partially open to the kitchen and dining area. There's an interior stair down to the bedroom and bathroom. Just outside the front door, there's a deck with outdoor living/dining, hot tub, and stair to the bedroom (upper) level of the lower cottage. The main entry to the lower cottage opens to the lower level sitting room. There's a mini kitchen and half bath on the lower level, and stairs to the upper level bedroom and bathroom. Note both interior staircases between living level and bedroom/bath are steep and narrow.
*Please note:
-There is no interior connection between the cottages.
-There are many stairs, some rather steep, some uneven...in the cottages, on the property, and between the cottages.
-Both cottages have freestanding clawfoot tubs with showers.
-Both cottages have steep narrow steps between living level and bedroom/bathroom.
-The road to the house is rough, narrow, windy and dark at night. Arrive in daylight, if possible.
-Summerhome Park beach is not open to vacation rental guests, but there are many other beaches nearby.
