About the host
Hosted by Renjena Burnett
The owners Renjena & Brandon Burnett bought these cottages, designed and developed by Bass Development Group in 2020 in the heart of NewBo District, with an ambition to open it to public as a cozy short-term rental.
Why they chose this property
We wanted to create our own history in this beautiful historic downtown. We hope this place serves you as a place to relax, enjoy & spend time with family or just enjoy solitude.
What makes this property unique
It's such a great place to enjoy the NewBo district, walk to the bars, restaurants or even bike around. The detached garage allows you to park one of your cars and also houses 4 bikes for the guests to use.
