Property was peaceful and quiet but close enough to town to get anything that was needed. Screened in porch was fantastic for sitting outside and enjoying nature.

Cottage get away

Great stay at this 3 bedroom cottage. We would definitely stay again. It was exactly what I expected a quiet cottage to go to to spend time with my family. Nicely located to tourist areas but not in the hustle of it all.
