This was our 2nd stay at this property. The home is just as described. On a quiet street yet close to restaurants and shopping. Would stay again.

This is lovely home on a quiet street but still close to the highway and local businesses. The host was very pleasant and even greeted us when we arrived! The house was clean and nicely decorated. Kitchen had plenty of dishes, cookware,etc. Beds were comfortable. Just an FYI, there are no closets. Would stay again if we are in the area.

The communication with the property owner was excellent. The cottage is attached to the owners home but is quite private and comfortable. I’ve already recommended it to family members who wish to visit that area.
