Perfect

We had a perfect week at the Mermaid's Tale. The cottage was beautifully restored with all the amenities. Interior design well done and conducive to relaxation. Location could not be better as we walked everywhere. The off-street parking really nice to have. Finally, the neighborhood was fun to just stroll around and enjoy the many quaint homes and gardens

Fabulous!

This beautifully designed home exceeded our expectations! Immaculate. Roomy. Top notch appliances. Comfy furnishings. Engaging porch & patio. We simply did not want to leave it! Within walking distance to downtown and many other attractions. Many local restaurants nearby as well. Sherri was a gracious host! We’d star the Mermaid’s Tale a 10 out of 5! We will definitely recommend it to our friends, and be return guests as well.

Best host! Best location!

Sherri is a wonderful host — always responsive and generous. The home was perfect. We didn’t get on our car once, the old city is a bike ride or a walk away. Everything we needed was provided, the kitchen is fully equipped. It’s actually more beautiful than the photos show. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Sherri, for an amazing refuge.

What's not to love?

Great stay in a beautifully designed, cozy comfortable place. Loved the historic neighborhood, the comfortable beds and cute porch for morning coffee. It was just me and my husband for a few nights, but we loved the homey quiet feel, in contrast to a full day of activities. We'll be back for sure!
