Great place to stay.

This was a wonderful place for a short stay. The only issues we encountered were one stained sheet that was on the queen bed., the mattress in the main bedroom was too soft, and the mattress in the spare bedroom was too hard.

Usually when we make this annual trip we stay at a Home2. This year, we opted for this adorable cottage and I am so glad we did. It was just as described and perfect for us to spend our days while visiting family. The outdoor seating area is perfect for summer evenings. We will return next year!

Great stay

We had a great stay, tiny but we didn’t need much room. It was clean and host was quick to reply. It is not very toddler friendly but that is not a negative necessarily just something to keep in mind.

This is a clean, cute and well kept property! I have had unpleasant surprises with stays before. Happy to report this was stellar. It is a small house. It was perfect as a hotel replacement. I would certainly stay again.
