We couldn’t have asked for a better location. We were an easy walk to everywhere and it was such a treat to be able to do that. This is one of those rare occasions where reality was even better than the pictures. The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for an extended stay; all of it high quality and clean clean clean. Melissa gave us all the directions we needed to check in and check out and responded to any questions quickly. We highly recommend Storybook Cottage.
