Absolutely gorgeous place to stay. Even better than the photos. We loved the complimentary baked treats that the host made - the tan slice was amazing! Lovely host who gave great recommendations for dinner at a great cafe in Castlecliff. Thanks for having us. Megan

Cute cottage with everything you need

Host was lovely, and thoughtful home baking awaited us! Perfect little getaway. Would not recommend for little kids due to unsafe mezzanine sleeping… our 7 and 9 Y ended up on the couch.

Great studio tiny house

Beautifully appointed, great place to unwind, was lovely to not have TV; instead we played board games, read, and of course went out. Thank you for the lovely treats too! Only thing I would say is it would be nice to have a full length mirror (vain I know!)

It’s so cute and original

We loved this cottage and will definitely book this again. Litza went the extra mile for us by doing our drying and delivering it back to us. Gorgeous decor and lovely touches. This place would be a very romantic stay for a couple but works with a child too. Thank you.
