Thanks Stephen, excited to hear that you loved the cottage and had a wonderful time! Yes, as you noted, one tradeoff to our great location in town and by the beach is that we're located on a main road. We do have that the listing, along with a photo of the road, so we hope that didn't surprise you. Great to hear that it didn't stop you from having an awesome time and enjoying the cottage. And thanks for leaving the place so clean, much appreciated. Enjoyed hosting you :)

My husband, myself, and our corgi puppy recently stayed here for our anniversary and it was absolutely incredibe! They go above and beyond making sure you have everything you need on the property and then some. It is so quiet and peaceful. You get a lot of privacy and the views are so worth it. The lake is within walking distance and it is not far from all sorts of restaurants and local attractions. Highly recommend!!

Great place

We loved this cabin! It was very clean and comfortable and well stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed and we also enjoyed using the charcoal grill. The beds were very comfortable and so was the living room. Our boys loved playing in the creek.

Great Little Cabin

While this cabin may be located in a spot that could be considered a busy part of town, it is tucked away behind a privacy fence, trees, and behind a creek, so you feel like you have privacy. Great central location as well to get to all area attractions - downtown, Old Mission Peninsula, the beach, etc.

Thanks Jason, glad to hear that you had a great stay and enjoyed the privacy/nature in the city setting the cottage provides, while still be so centrally located to everything you'd want to do in TC. It's what we love about the cottage, so it's great to hear that you enjoyed that as well. Thanks so much for being a great guest, we'd welcome you back anytime!
