This was my second stay at Waddill Cottage. This was a girl’s trip and we enjoyed the awesome outdoor space. The house is so cozy, has a great kitchen and very comfortable beds. It is so close and handy to the downtown Square and all the great shopping there. I would recommend this house to a group of eight or less for a fun weekend trip or a longer family getaway!

Lovely and charming historical house. The beds were comfy and the many bedrooms gave a place for the girls to retreat at the end of the night. Disappointed the weather turned rainy and cold because the outdoor space is splendid. Would love to come back and enjoy the home again. Hosts were also a 10 out of 10 in communication.
