Our recent stay at the charming cottage was our second this year. The property is lovely and well maintained. The location is great - away from the crowds and close to the Washington Island ferry and Newport State Park. We'll be back.

A cute, clean house! Would have given 5 stars, but the internet was not good at the house. We couldnt use our cells or get streaming on the tv.

I loved staying at this house! It was the cutest place and the perfect size. Even with being on the main drag in town, it was very quiet and peaceful. I will stay here again!

The place was larger than we expected and the location was great. We had some car trouble during our stay, so it was nice to be able to walk to the nearby bar/restaurant and the coffee shop down the road was awesome (even open in the off season) We’d stay again and nice to know there’s enough space to bring the family back too.

The house is cute and cutely decorated. Bedding and towels seemed very clean. However, it's a very old house so there was a musty smell and the shower was dark and dingy. Location was fantastic however the description of entry was a bit confusing and it was not marked very well at all. There was a cute little patio but weeds everywhere.

It was very clean and check-in was easy. The fireplace was nice and the living room was cute. We were disappointed there was no shampoo, conditioner, or body soap for the shower.
