Great place to stay

Perfect-sized house in a quiet neighborhood, but close to everywhere we needed to be. We both work remotely, and there was plenty of room to spread out and not disturb each other. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a meal for some family members we were visiting.

This was our 2nd stay with our shelties. This house is perfect for us when we want to visit Longwood Gardens. It’s also a great location to stay when visiting Winterthur. We slept better in your beds than we do in our beds at home. I look forward to coming again. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. A

I love that I am able to share this beautiful cottage with you! I am a wife and mom of 4. We love to travel and can be found at the beach most of the summer. Don't threaten us with a good time because we will be there! I am a born and raised Delaware resident so any requests for local recommendations I can certainly provide.
