Loved the Burnett Cottage

The layout of the cottage with the large master downstairs and the loft upstairs was perfect for our group of two grandparents, two parents, and two children. The cottage was clean and well-organized with everything we needed in the kitchen. Actually, we wanted to clone the cottage and plop it down on Cape Cod for our next family gathering!We also loved the location near the Newbo City Market and an easy drive to the retirement community, Meth-Wick.
