About the host

Hosted by Jonathan & Chloe' Crouch

Host profile image
Jonathan & Chloe' Crouch since 1986. One Shar Pei Lab mix added in 2009 ....🐕"Captain"🐕.... life is good! ... especially for him!😁

Why they chose this property

We have lived in this community of friendly people and quiet roads most of our lives .... its a pleasant experience that we hope will be enjoyed by others.

What makes this property unique

Woodland Cottage was built in the 1950s by a colorful and somewhat eccentric lady and her husband. They had a real zest for life and were loaded with personality, laughter, warmth and practicality.... it is all reflected in the design layout and feel of this unique and quaint little cottage.
We feel you will just love a relaxing get away here...so book your stay... come on down, over or up ...... we'll be glad to have ya!
