Its a nice little place to stay. We stayed there when we had a wedding in town. Very close to wedding venue and walking distance to the water and some bars. Cute little place. Stairs to get up to the 2 upper bedrooms are very narrow and there is only one bathroom in the large cabin, but I would definitely stay there again.

The cottage was nice and Heidi, the host, was fabulous! Unfortunately it was so cold and we couldn’t get the heat to go above 64 degrees. Thank goodness we didn’t have to spend a whole lot of time in the house as we spent most of the time at the wedding venue.

Location was great. It was not noisy at all being on the Main Street! It could have been cleaner. There was crumbs on the kitchen floor and a lot of cobwebs in the bathroom. It is an updated old home so I imagine it’s difficult to keep up with the cobwebs. Stairs were fairly steep to the upstairs bedrooms.

Great stay for our girls night out!

This was a great place for a girls night. We each had our own beds and plenty of room. We stayed in the spring so the town was pretty quiet, next time we'll have to try the summer time. We went to a winery a mile down the road and a cute little cafe for brunch!

June get-away

We enjoyed our all girls get away. It was a very comfortable place to stay but I would recommend it for younger families or couples. We are 3 seniors and the very narrow steep stairs to the 2 bedrooms upstairs with a curve at the bottom and no handrail were very difficult to go up and down. The bathroom is on the main level. Price was reasonable, very clean, nice kitchen, comfortable furniture, AC on the first floor with a window unit in one room on the 2nd floor, comfortable beds, quiet, great location, very nice hosts.
