We loved our stay at Bryant Cottage. So nice to meet Matt & Sara, they stayed in close contact with us for our every need. The closed in yard was especially convenient since we travel with our service dog. The kitchen looked brand new and had everything I needed to prepare a fabulous dinner for our friends who live nearby.The cottage had the most exquisite linens I've ever slept in. That is very important to me! The privacy and quiet neighborhood felt like a retreat. Thank you Your happy guests :)
This home was so Cute. From the cottage like walkway, to the cute little yard. The home had one half bath downstairs which was amazing for our kids. (No runnong up and down stairs to potty) The beds were comfortable. My girls loved there bunk beds. The yard was the perfect size for Dogs (big or small) and for ypung children. They made it homey by welcoming us with a cute sign. Matt answered all my questions while there promptly anf helpful. Some reason my dogs werent on the reservation, but he updated it and we were good to go. Thank you for a great stay. We will be back.
