Beautiful Highlands Getaway
We had a lovely Thanksgiving and mini-Family Reunion at the Foxdale cottage. Foxdale is beautifully situated and decorated. We would surely stay at this property again. Our hosts were very responsive the one time we reached out to them and addressed the issue later that day.
COOK’S NOTES: We cooked 6 breakfasts and 4 dinners, including Thanksgiving dinner. The appliances are new and work well. There's only one paring knife that's sharp, so bring a good chefs knife. They supply 2 or 3 pots, a stainless-steel skillet, and 3 non-stick skillets - 8", 10" and 12" and all three are very worn and should be replaced. The spices available are salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and chili powder - bring anything else you might need.
Pros:
1. The Mattresses and linens are top-tier quality.
2. There were plenty of extra bath linens.
3. The kitchen has very nice, new appliances.
4. In warmer months, the screened porches practically double the living area.
Cons:
1. The hot water in the upstairs bathroom will come on briefly, then go artic-cold. The owner/manager is aware.
2. The gas fireplace doesn't work. It worked briefly the first night, when it suddenly shut off, and we couldn’t get it back on during the remainder of our visit.
3. The television isn't connected to anything but the DVD player. The TV displayed an error message that no signal was found when switched to cable.
4. Those gorgeous claw-footed tubs. If you are in anyway mobility impaired the tubs will be a challenge.
