My husband and I stayed here for two nights—I wish we could have stayed longer, because the cottage and its interior are just charming. The living area and kitchen had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom clean. The cottage is in a quiet residential neighborhood about ten minutes easy walking distance to the Queen Street where visitors can find great restaurants, historic buildings, and access to the amazing park on the lake. Our host was readily accessible by phone or VRBO messaging, and check-in was easy.
