Our stay at the Cottage is always excellent. It is so clean and smells so fresh! The kitchen has everything you need for a stay away from home if you want to cook and if you prefer not to cook there are many great restaurants nearby. Paul and Rebecca are so kind and personable. They also have a wonderful yard that allows children to play at their will while adults can enjoy nature at its lovliest.

Everything was wonderful. Our grand-daughter loved playing with all the playground equipment and toys outside, as well as our walks to the pond. The house is so clean and comfortable. We loved every moment of our time there.

My daughter and I loved getting to enjoy this property in the country. We loved seeing the beautiful countryside, and peacefulness; yet it is just a short drive into town. A perfect time and place for reflection and rest. If my granddaughter had been with us, she would have loved all the outdoor play items.

This was very convenient to family gathering. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Suggestions- add another chair in living room for larger group. Possibly a small table in the bathroom to hold toiletries. If you have problems with stairs this might not be the best. Both large bedrooms are upstairs. Over all we will use this space again.

Home away from home!

The house was Beautiful! The beds were so comfortable! My husband and I brought our 5 yr old grandson and his service dog in training. Ezra loved the swings in the backyard and the puppy had plenty of room to stretch her legs. My husband and I enjoyed the county feel just 5 minutes away from our kiddos in Aroura. The owners were so kind . The detail was beyond compare! We truly enjoyed our stay!
