All organic spices, plenty of sharp knives, cutting boards, pots, pans, mixing bowls, serving utensils - etc. AND, we provide a bag of local and organic coffee for your mornings to set the Montana mood for you! Cook for the family indoors with the apartment sized four burner stove and oven or outside on the grill. The refrigerator/freezer holds plenty of space for food.
» . . . . BATHROOM: The Cottage has a full bath with standup shower on the lower level, while a half bath sits on the upper level (the Cottage is a split level with two steps). An economy sized washer, and dryer is located in the upper bath. Large enough for simple rounds of clothing, not designed for heavy loads or large items.
