It is a pleasure to write a review for the Butterfly Cottage in Long Point. More pleasure are the memories. The cottage is more spacious and luxurious than the pictures show. Modern and updated. Supplies, everything you need and more. Homey atmosphere, clean, with comfortable beds and furniture. Attention to details. So cute the decals on the kitchen cupboards. Enjoyed the outdoors as well. Patio, BBQ, bonfire pit, and the beautiful flowers and flowering bushes. Certainly was worth every penny. Suzanne was easy to communicate with and did everything in her power to accommodate our needs. We were 3 adults, a teenager and twin baby girls a year and a half old. Plenty of room for us all. Had visitors for day and evening visits 4 separate times. Never crowded. Butterfly Cottage is a real gem.

Suzanne went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The cottage is fully stocked with anything one may require on vacation, and is neatly and intuitively organized. The location is idyllic, with plenty to do nearby. I would definitely book Suzanne's cottage again in the future.
