We really enjoyed our stay! Communication with the owner and property manager was easy, the place was clean, had great AC, lighting, plenty of firewood for the firepit, and the bed was comfortable. The location was very convenient - easy to get to the state park nearby, as well as a few breweries and Tops.

I very much enjoyed my stay at this property. The cottage was very clean and check-in was very easy. It is located on a gravel road off of the main road--very quiet location with a little pond. It was great to have a screened porch to enjoy the outdoors without the threat of bugs and having the air conditioning and fans was great as the week I had stayed was very hot and humid.

Charming

Great relaxing location and very charming. It was great to be so central to food, general shopping, wineries, breweries and the outdoor environment. We highlighted a few concerns on the property, mainly just to help keep the owner and management team informed and they were addressed immediately. Thank you so much for our stay!

Great get away! 5 minutes from town but totally secluded! Very relaxing. Only wish there was a TV in the bedroom.

Cousins weekend

Beautiful property! So much more than I expected. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate and we were unable to fully enjoy it. I will definitely recommend this property and hopefully return in the near future!

Don't think twice about booking this adorable cottage!

My husband and I are so happy we chose to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary at the cottage! Private, peaceful, and quite perfect. The bed was so comfortable and the owner was very responsive to any questions and extremely helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to coming back again in the future! :)

Short fall stay

My wife and I stayed for two nights, comfortable house with interesting gardens. House was very clean. Did not matter to us but second bedroom has very low ceiling. Main bedroom had nice mattress. Easy check in and was nice and warm with lights on when we arrived which was a nice touch. Clearly they make an effort to make your stay comfortable as they can. Even a little toilet paper flower in the spare roll.
