After the long drive to Shelburne, I'd have been happy to see just about any structure with a bed in it waiting for me. But, when the long drive ends at Whispering Waves, there's too much to be excited about before going straight to sleep!
The cottage I stayed in over the weekend back during my visit was huge: a huge bedroom, fold-out couches, real fireplaces, a veranda overlooking the water, a jacuzzi for two in the master bedroom and a full kitchen. Personally, I'd never stay in Shelburne (sorry...) for long enough to use all of those things, but man are they ever nice to have for a getaway where you don't want to have to rely on restaurants for every single meal.
Still, for those who want a bit of a middle ground, with certain packages the owners of the cottages actually cook dinner for two and bring it down to your place so that you can enjoy it all romantically and junk if you're into that sort of thing.
Clean, close to town (ish...or we got lost which I can't totally rule out), and friendly owners who cook? What's not to love! read more
