cottages
Hi--can anyone give me some information on the cottages? I understand there is one double bed and a bunk bed. Are these in separate rooms? Any other info would be most welcome. Three of us are going--a couple, and a single. In our 60's, so not roughing it. Thank you!

Re: cottages
The cottages are basic and could be considered studios. The couch folds out to bed and bunkbeds are in entrance area across
from the bathroom. The stove/oven/cabinet kitchen area is in corner. I have not rented, but have received tour and have
collection of pictures. Here are some of them.

Re: cottages
Out last night on the island we rented a cottage. The bunk beds are built into an alcove near the front door. They have a basic foam mattress and are not very comfortable. The cottage can be thought of as a studio or efficiency apartment. However, for a soak in a hot tub it was well worth the price.

Re: cottages
I didn't get the double bed. I don't recall it being particularly "special". WiFi? There was no WiFi that I saw. Some people have said that the store at Windigo has a WiFi hotspot. I don't know about R.H. We had a GSM cell phone with a Yagi antenna and could get voice and text service standing outside the cottage and pointing the antenna toward UP. No data service with this setup. With a directional antenna and signal booster for 3G you might be able to get data on I.R. I think this is how the Park Service and concessionaire do it.amarylis49 wrote:Thank you. What is the double bed like? Is it a sofa bed? Where are you getting wi fi??

Re: cottages
Bunk beds are always near the door in the cottages and it is somewhat like the sofa. It is not comfortable to sleep on it.
