Bruce Hideaway Review, Aug 2025

5 out of 5 stars

Our stay at Bruce Hideaway was great. We really enjoyed it. Thank you for helping me to narrow down the choices at the outset of my search to arrive at a solution that was a perfect fit for us. The views from the cottage were just fabulous.

We had a wonderful visit and because the cottage was so well appointed and a wonderful nature filled respite, we were able to focus on the important things - family, relaxation, good food and fun.
