The cottage was even more adorable in person than in the pictures. It felt like I was staying in grandma's house with all of the creature comforts and the host was an expert in hospitality.

I love this review! Thank you Denise. That made me laugh because quite a few things in the cottage are my Grandma’s! I always looked forward to going to her comfy and cozy home- and that is what we wanted to create for our guests. I am so glad you enjoyed it. Come back soon! We will leave the light on for ya! 😊
