Adorable cottage
This was perfect for our visit to grandchildren in the area. Nicely furnished, quiet, and private. We hope to revisit in the future!

Lovely place to stay
My stay in this unit was extremely pleasant. Shannon is a wonderful host and very generous - sharing fresh tomatoes from her own garden, and allowing me to use a bike, which came with a lock. I used it to get everywhere during my 1 month stay. The unit itself was cute, clean, and had everything I needed. It offered a lot of privacy and was well-stocked with plenty of kitchen and bakeware, as well as soap, cleaning supplies, and even bathroom essentials (mini shampoos, conditioners). A cleaning service came halfway during my stay and deep cleaned everything while I was out. I would definitely return. I highly recommend this 10/10 cottage!
