This was a very pleasant, quiet place to stay with everything we needed and more! Comfortable home.
We enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable charming getaway cottage on a quiet street with a great fenced -in front yard which our dog found quite fun to sit out in. The house was quite large and had everything we needed. We liked playing with our dog in the expansive backyard which had a charcoal grill that we used to cook our veggie burgers on. The kitchen was perfect to prepare the rest of our food. The den with the TV was homey, as was the largest of the 3 bedrooms which we slept in. We were very glad that our landlady had the TV hooked up to regular TV instead of just DVDs and Netflix like some of the places we've stayed do. The neighbors were very friendly as they walked by and spoke, making us feel very welcome. Our landlady had left us a bottle of Merlot wine called "Kickstand" with a bicycle on the label. We found this very thoughtful since we're bicyclists! The cottage was close to a grocery store, gas station, and "The Homestead." It was very convenient for us to go to these places. The renter who occupies the garage apartment at the back of this property was very friendly to us too. We felt very nostalgic when we stayed in this cottage. It made us feel like we were visiting an aunt or uncle's house back when we were children, or a friend's house during our younger years. It was a great stay; we'd stay there again if our travels ever bring us to this part of the country. The front porch with the rocking chairs was fun to sit out on. Our dog, Berkeley, even sat in one of the rocking chairs for a little while one morning. We would recommend this nice cottage to our friends to stay in as well. The only thing negative about this entire stay was that we ran out of toilet paper since there were only 2 partial rolls in the bathroom when we arrived. This was not a problem since there were plenty of facial tissues available to use, and we hadn't run out until right near the end of our stay. We used the washer and dryer to do a load of laundry while we were there since we'd been out on the road for 27 days when we arrived and needed to wash our bicycling clothing. Our landlady was very gracious to let us use the laundry facilities. We had brought our own detergent with us in hopes that we'd be able to do laundry somewhere along the way. This was a great place for us and our dog, Berkeley, to stay! Many thanks to our landlady for making it so wonderful!
