Adorable cottage, Perfect Location!

We were in town for a wedding outside of Covington, and found this cottage to be the perfect fit. It was immaculately clean, in an amazing location, and very comfortable. The kitchen was adequate for our needs and well stocked with snacks and coffee. It was accurately described in the listing, so no oven, but all the basics that suited our needs. An easy walk to all restaurants, coffee shops, brewery, Farmer's Market, etc. The house felt safe, the beds and pillows were comfortable, and it was obvious that the owners want their guests to feel taken care of with a lot of thoughtful information and personal touches.
