It fit our need for only 1 night. There were 7 if us and only 1 bathroom. We knew that going in but we would not have stayed there if we were staying many nights.It would a great place for 4 people. It was cozy and 2 cars fit in the driveway just fine.Restaurants were close and easy to get to.

Stayed for just one night with 4 adults. Comfortable accommodation. But one restroom was challenging. And unit was not ready for check in. No biggie. We had fun!

Appreciate you choosing our cottage for your stay. Sorry for the check-in delay and the restroom inconvenience—we’re working on improvements to make things smoother by adding a second bathroom. Glad you had fun and hope to host you again!

The beds were comfortable, the neighborhood felt safe, and the Tesla charger was a definite plus. The pet-friendly setup was a standout feature and made this a great option for guests traveling with pets.The kitchen was functional, but the microwave door handle needs replacing. We also needed to open the windows while cooking because there was no exhaust ventilation to remove cooking fumes. The outdoor BBQ was a nice bonus, although it needs some repair. A wall-mounted toilet paper holder would also be more convenient than having the roll placed high on a hook. A bidet was a nice feature.Overall, we appreciated the comfort and pet-friendly accommodations.
