After a fun day at the Blue/White game Leslie's cottage was a wonderful little escape to get away and unwind. It was quaint and quiet. Leslie is a wonderful host who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed.

The cottage was simple, but very nice! It's super quiet on the farm and perfect to get away from the busy life. They even had a grill with grill tools to use along with a griddle, kitchen and a full refrigerator. The inside was air conditioned so it was nice and cool when you came back in from being outside. It was perfect for our weekend out with the guys. I would definitely recommend this cottage!
