Our annual ladies getaway was wonderful at The Kessler Cottage. It was well stocked with everything we needed. The location was close to restaurants and beaches. We had deer roaming through the backyard. Our host was very timely regarding any questions. We would definitely return for another vacation.

The property was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped for a comfortable stay. We especially appreciated the cozy areas for watching the game and long conversations, plus the private outdoor space where we enjoyed morning coffee and evening stargazing by the fire. The location was ideal—close to local shops and restaurants. Our host was communicative and welcoming. We left feeling refreshed and reconnected.

Family trip for wedding weekend

We had a wonderful two night stay for a friend’s wedding. We liked that the house has two distinct living spaces, so my husband, son and I had our own space and my mom had her own space. Very clean and peaceful.
