My partner & I were looking for a place that was walkable, cozy, & had at least a small area for food storage & preparation (such as a fridge & microwave), as I have celiac disease & can't eat out often. This cottage checked all of our boxes! It was within a 5–10 minute walk of practically everything, & we loved the location. Anything farther away was an easy drive, with minimal traffic & wide streets. We especially loved being right behind Main Street & so close to shopping, restaurants, bookstores, breweries, coffee shops, & more.
The cottage cooled down well during the day, but we found it a bit stuffy at night, even with the temperature turned down & the provided fan running. We also really enjoyed using the hot tub both nights to relax & unwind after long days of walking & hiking (Enchanted Rock)!
The cottage was clean & well-kept when we arrived, & we really appreciated how easy check-in & check-out were, thanks to the company's clear communication.
Overall, it was perfect for a couple looking to get away from the big city for a bit. Although it was on the smaller side, we didn't need much since we were mostly out exploring & just needed a comfortable place to rest & sleep.
There were only two downsides to our stay, but neither would stop me from recommending the cottage or staying here again:
1. Low Water Pressure: The water pressure in both the shower & bathroom sink was extremely low. Showering was difficult, & we were unable to wash our hair the two nights, because anticipated that rinsing out the soap would take so long that the warm water would run out before we could finish.The bathroom sink also had very little pressure, which made brushing our teeth or washing faces a bit more difficult.
2. Odor Outside the Cottage: There was an unpleasant smell outside the cottage whenever we returned or stepped outside to leave. It wasn't quite like a dumpster; it smelled more like a dead animal.
Despite these two issues, we had a great time & would absolutely consider coming back. The location, convenience, & hot tub made it a lovely place to stay!
