Quaint. The extras the host provides are a great bonus (fresh eggs, seasonal garden vegetables, art supplies).

Great location, close to some of our favorite trails and wineries. Simple, clean, well stocked cottage with top notch hosts. So glad it's dog friendly! The art theme is a fun twist. Highly recommended!!!

The cottage was delightful, welcoming and cozy. We were there during a heat wave and there were no issues with being comfortable. Everything worked very well-A/C, water pressure, internet, appliances. What a treat to be able to make breakfast with peppers and tomatoes fresh from the garden and eggs from Speck, the chicken! We and our dog enjoyed the deck and large yard, surrounded by woods, listening and to songbirds. We hope to return in the fall for a cool weekend to enjoy the amazing outdoor fireplace.
