The cottage, with its well equipped updated kitchen, and cozy atmosphere assures you a relaxing stay, with a view that says feast your eyes on our magnificents.

About the host

Why they chose this property
We lived and loved this property for many years. We raised our family in this small, but cozy cottage. We remodeled the kitchen and bath to update the house and after doing the work ourselves, it’s very near and dear to our hearts. We wanted to make it feel like home when you walk in the door, so we added a few small touches to achieve that goal.
What makes this property unique
Very close to downtown, yet the neighborhood is quiet.
