Dave's cottage is a gem!
Great weekend stay! Immaculate, beautiful home and Dave has thought of everything to make the stay comfortable and relaxing. Loved walking around the corner to Cafe Max for breakfast and a stroll around town. Easy walk to the lake too. Polo and Pear for the win!

Lovely Home and Garden in the Heart of Culver
The owner was proactive in making sure that we knew what to expect with the bedrooms upstairs and the check-in procedures. Check-in and Check-out was easy. The house is historic but very up to date for modern needs and nicely decorated. Very comfortable and easy to feel like home. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. We will try to stay here again on future Culver visits.
