Our stay in this homey cottage was fantastic! It had a small park across the street, was close to downtown, had a very usable kitchen, and comfy beds. We even got to listen to a music festival with food vendors in the park one evening, which was a bonus! We highly recommend this cottage!

We loved the front & back porch/deck. The private backyard made us feel safe and the shutters on the front porch gave additional privacy. The cottage was very nice and comfortable. Having the washer & dryer was very convenient. I would recommend staying there to anyone.

Weekend getaway

My husband and I loved our time spent at the cottage. So close to the historic district, walking distance but we drove our vehicle. Plenty of parking around the historic district. This cottage was so cute just like the pictures. Highly recommend booking. Clean , nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable . Will be planning another trip in the fall .

Cute Cottage

This is our second time staying at this house. It’s in a great location with a pretty park in front of it. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. We have family that lives 5 minutes away so it’s perfect for family to visit, come and go and have dinner together. Since our stay last year, the bathroom was updated to a nice walk in shower. The shower fixture was really nice and water pressure was excellent. We’ll be staying here again.
