"We were on a special trip with my young family and this could not have been a more perfect place for us. We loved the cottage and it’s proximity to both the forest and the beautiful beaches nearby. It felt like the perfect spot. The board games were great and added to our time together and the little touches like the card and the chocolates made it feel so special. All of us will remember our time at Evergreen and none of us wanted to go home."
