Cozy and Comfortable
Nicely renovated. Slightly tight space in the bedroom, but just enough for my husband and I to enjoy and be comfortable for the weekend.

My wife and I stayed at Cottage 36. It was perfect for the two of us, cozy with just enough room. We were there attending the Tavares Spring Thunder Vintage Regatta. The place was very clean and had everything we needed, although we did ask for two extra towels which were promptly provided. Great location, nice and quiet, the way we like it. I would highly recommend if you are in the area and need a quiet, comfortable place to stay, this is it!
