Forget Me Not Cottage

Forget Me Not Cottage is very charming and comfortable. Owner Darla is welcoming and most hospitable. The nautical decor is delightful and we had everything we needed. Ellison Bay is much smaller and quieter than the other towns on Hwy 42 and we truly appreciated that. We highly recommend Forget Me Not Cottage.
