Carolyn, Thank you for the five star review. I’m always happy to know that guests enjoyed their stay. I hope you and your family will stay here again soon.
Cheers, Dwight
the cottage is "rustic" and I mean it in a good way, it is older but in good condition. The kitchen was well equipped one of the best of anyplace we stayed. If you are looking for peace and quiet this your spot.
If u like quiet and relaxing
This is the place and only few minutes away from
Big box stores and restaurants
Also lots of local options.
We loved the place and owner was easy to reach by phone or text.
We had a very relaxing and cozy stay at this cottage! We enjoyed the proximity to the bike trail and loved riding our bikes. The cottage is clean and stocked with everything you need, especially in the kitchen. Our dog enjoyed herself being able to explore the yard. It's a quiet area and we felt safe. We would recommend.
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful wooded cottage. Dwight was a wonderful host and the cottage had everything you needed for a pleasant and comfortable stay. It’s close enough to great dining while private enough to feel like your a million miles away from the hustle and bustle. Will definitely come again.
Nice cabin with everything we needed, used the pullout sofa, screened porch and did some cooking in the kitchen. Very clean and quiet place. Will definitely be back again.
Location was quiet, cottage was cute and accessible. Everything we needed was there. Good communication with host for needs. Check in was smooth. Would stay there again.
