This charming one bedroom cottage sits directly behind the main house and is shielded quite well from the road and all other homes in the area. The neighborhood is quiet and full of beautiful historic homes. The cottage itself is quite nice. Everything you need for your stay is provided. The host and her brother made us feel very welcome. This was a pleasant change from the hotel we usually stay at when in the area. 5 stars across the board.

this home was exactly as described. It was very easy getting in contact with the host and she also had one other person available to us if we needed anything. The home was perfectly located for our needs. It got cold the weekend we were there, the heater quit, but the homeowner had a portable one brought over immediately. We would definitely stay again.

Wonderful experience

My husband and I loved our stay. The lighted yard is beautiful and I wish we had been there longer to enjoy it more. The full size bed was a little small for us, but other than that, everything was absolute perfection! Highly recommend!!
