The cottage was clean, comfortable, and convenient for my plans in Quincy. I grew up in this neighborhood but left in 1982, so I especially appreciated how well the area has been kept up in the 40 years since I lived right up the street.I would definitely stay here in the future.

This place had a great location. we were a little concerned about the steep stairs being a group of women in our 60's, We just took them slow and held on. The shower has wicked water pressure. The house was beautiful and comfortable. we have stayed in 3 houses in Quincy that are hosted by Laura. They have all been great. Thank you Laura

A charming nicely renovated and decorated old home. Nice location right in town. Well equipped with all necessary supplies. Only caution is a steep staircase to bedrooms on second floor that may pose problem for young children or adults with disability.

Wonderful stay in Quincy

The house appears as it is represented in the listing, and is a beautifully renovated historic home in a quiet, historic neighborhood with walking access to many things. A nice quiet patio out back and comfortable bed. Communication was great, check in was easy, and I would recommend this to anyone needing a place to stay in Quincy.

We were very pleased with this rental! It is as advertised; clean, well-appointed and in a wonderful central location. Communication with Laura was excellent; she even had fresh locally made cookies for us upon arrival! We could either park in the driveway or on the street. Neighbors were quiet and the neighborhood is well kept. The back patio is a big plus!

John, I’m so sorry you didn’t thoroughly enjoy your stay. I’ve had so many reviews on many different platforms and none of them included complaints. I wish you had said something about not liking the smell in your first message where you were upset about not having a bed on the main floor because I would’ve come and removed the 3 air fresheners. That’s actually one thing we always get complimented on actually. The cleanliness and the cozy smell. As for the cooling, I’ll look into that, thank you for alerting us. We’ve never had anyone say a word about that either. We go above and beyond to please our guests, i regret that you were not.

Adorable house

I enjoyed my stay. The house was very clean. The staircase to the bedrooms is narrow & steep but to be expected in an old house. I like how the original floors & doors were restored. If I would stay a few days again in Quincy, I would definitely stay here & recommend this cottage to others. Laura was very accommodating. I like how a keypad was used to get in the house. Very easy. Thank you, Laura for renting out your adorable house.

Beautiful cottage

Loved everything about the cottage. Neat, clean, beautifully decorated. The only bad thing was the staircase. I have a bad knee and it was very steep. Not for people with elderly or those who have hard time with stairs. Need a vent in upstairs bathroom our son took a hot shower and when he came out of bathroom it set fire alarm off.

Lovely home in nice neighborhood

This property is expertly clean and well maintained. The home is newly renovated with smart stylish details that feel upscale while staying true to the architecture of the home. The furniture and beds are lovely and comfortable. Rooms are spacious. Linens and towels are high quality. Kitchen details make you feel at home. The neighborhood is safe for an evening stroll to the nearby college campus or local shops on streets blooming with mature magnolias. There is off street parking. Communication with the owner was easy and prompt. Highly recommend.

Cozy Christmas

This was the perfect home base for us and our adult children when we were not with extended family on Christmas Eve and Christmas. The rooms are smallish but comfortable and tastefully decorated. Lauren' simple and elegant Christmas touches made us feel welcome. The kitchen had everything we needed. A note for elderly guests-- there are a few features which those with less mobility may not be able to take full advantage of. The dining room and chairs are taller than traditional height. Stairs to the bedrooms upstairs are a little narrow, and a charming old-fashioned bathtub could be harder for some to get in and out of. None of these passed any issues for us though, and we really enjoyed our time here! has everything we needed.

Lovely cottage with fabulous natural lighting well furnished, comfortable beds etc. Quiet neighborhood. Great common areaMaintenance required- loose staircase railings (front and back), and the one full bath has no “grab bars” in the soaker tub. Quite difficult3.5 bedrooms are upstairs. Nice bedding. Good AC and heatVery old windows- should be replaced or at least clean the sillsThe issue- stairs are not per code. Tiny and steep. Would not be permitted where we live. I’m a landlord, so I know code Dangerous and narrow with no railingsNote to owner:Change the bathtubAlter the stairs. There is room. Your first accident will be a terrible lawsuitOur family would hate to see that happenPlease phone me to discuss deets. Our dad was a builder. You have my my numberThanksTom
