Please note: at this time there is not air conditioning in the house, and the fireplace is inaccessible to guests. This is a classic summer cottage -- the walls are thin, in their vintage original construction, and the stairway and bathrooms are compact. The house works great for family and close friends. Other guests have mentioned that there are some things that may not be appropriate for super young children (fireplace with a brick foundation, steep stair, and there are no child safe cabinet locks etc). Please note that the toilet on the first floor is tucked under the stair (with sink and full door!), and feels like you are in the hull of a ship. The house works great for family and close friends.

*As this is a quiet neighborhood, there can be no parties, or loud music, and guests are limited to the parking spaces in the driveway.*
