5 stars – Wonderful Stay!We had a wonderful time staying in this lovely cottage. It was clean, beautifully decorated, and felt warm and inviting from the moment we arrived. The property itself was charming, and we especially loved the close proximity to downtown Wendell—such a fun area to explore! Highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient getaway.

Property was very clean and comfortable. Very easy check-in and check out. Very nice. And the air conditioning is amazing. The only complaint we had which was not much of a complaint, but more of a suggestion, is that we wish there would have been a grill to cook out on.
