Heidi is the BEST host! The house was so adorably decorated and welcoming. Everything was orderly and clean, making our stay feel so relaxing. Communication was quick, easy, and always incredibly polite. We are already looking forward to renting it again! Highly recommend any of Heidi's properties. Very very wonderful host

Its a nice little place to stay. We stayed there when we had a wedding in town. Very close to wedding venue and walking distance to the water and some bars. Cute little place. Stairs to get up to the 2 upper bedrooms are very narrow and there is only one bathroom in the large cabin, but I would definitely stay there again.

The cottage was nice and Heidi, the host, was fabulous! Unfortunately it was so cold and we couldn’t get the heat to go above 64 degrees. Thank goodness we didn’t have to spend a whole lot of time in the house as we spent most of the time at the wedding venue.

Great stay for our girls night out!

This was a great place for a girls night. We each had our own beds and plenty of room. We stayed in the spring so the town was pretty quiet, next time we'll have to try the summer time. We went to a winery a mile down the road and a cute little cafe for brunch!
