A La Carte stays are the most flexible way to visit. Rather than committing to multiple visits or structured scheduling, this option allows guests to plan a single trip based on their availability.
Many guests begin with an A La Carte stay to experience the property for the first time. Others prefer the flexibility of planning visits individually from year to year.
Overview
A La Carte stays allow guests to book one visit at a time. This format keeps scheduling flexible while still providing the full cottage experience.
Every A La Carte stay includes:
Full private cottage access
Use of all amenities
Bed or familiar blanket
Access to the surrounding property and outdoor spaces
The difference compared to other stay formats is simply how visits are scheduled.

Stay Length Options
A La Carte stays are typically organized around a few common visit lengths.
Common options include:
3 night long weekend visits
4 night midweek stays
7 night full week stays
These stay lengths allow guests to plan short getaways, extended weekends, or full seasonal vacations.
Availability for each stay length varies depending on the season and existing reservations.
Who A La Carte Works Best For
A La Carte stays are often chosen by guests who value flexibility.
This format works well for:
First-time visitors exploring the property

Some returning guests later decide to move to a more structured format if they plan to visit regularly.
