My second stay at this hidden gem. Perfect for privacy, plenty of room and very comfortable. The hosts couldn't be more accommodating which is a true gift to this solo traveler.

Beautiful spot in a quiet location. Very roomy and well-appointed. If you're into cooking you'll want your own to-go spices (which I'd bring regardless) but having a full kitchen is a bonus. This is certainly a property I'll re-visit. 2 thumbs up!!

Denise was a gracious host. She checked in several times to make sure we had what we needed. The cute cottage was clean, quiet and cozy. The kitchen was well stocked and coffee, tea and water bottles were there when we arrived. The queen bed was comfortable. A lovely park and pond were across the street. The neighborhood was very safe and centrally located near restaurants, cafes and shopping.

Friendly and Close to Town

Our hostess was very friendly and accommodating. The cottage is rustic and very close to restaurants and stores. The place was clean, but the bathroom is extremely small. Also, the driveway to the cottage is almost hidden since it is overgrown with trees.
