About the host

My husband and I
Why they chose this property
The 1st thing I do when I get up in the morning is look out back to see what wildlife maybe on the property. We feed the deer and birds. We also have a couple of stray cats Boots and Grimie that hang around from time to time.
We have the best neighbors. Next door is Mary and her daughter Jane. Mary's dad built the cottage in 1940 and her mother lived in the cottage until her passing at 100. Mary is currently in her 90's and still drives.I love the history of this home. Mary and Jane love to meet our guest. If you see them out in the yard do not hesitate to say Hi.
Missy and her husband Harry live across the street and help with cleaning and mowing of the property. There 2 girls Charlotte and Madelyn bake cookies for our guest and love to play down by the river.

What makes this property unique
The cottage is small and cozy. I love high quality bedding and a comfortable bed. Love to sit on the front porch in the morning with a cup of coffee or in the evening with a glass of wine.
