The cottage was perfect for our stay. We enjoyed the warm and cozy atmosphere and the location was perfect for walking down to the Farmer’s Market, shops, etc. Very quiet and friendly neighborhood and Kathryn and Patrick were wonderful and very helpful with anything we needed. The cottage is well equipped and I was very thankful for sharp knives which is rare in a VRBO rental. Highly recommend this rental!!

Beautiful Cottage

I stayed at this cottage for 6 weeks. It is a beautiful and quaint cottage with everything you need for an amazing stay. Kathryn and Patrick are the consummate hosts and were very friendly and helpful. I was very grateful and appreciative Patrick and Luke went out of their way to help me with a project.. Kathryn was gracious and warm. I would recommend staying here.
