We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas holiday stay at this clean, comfortable cottage. Loved the Christmas tree and holiday decor. Susan, our host, was quick to respond when I reported a power outage. Beds were a bit too firm for our bad backs. Had everything we needed, although a new set of pots and pans would be an improvement. Neighborhood was safe, quiet, walkable and convenient to everything.
