We were so fortunate to find this last-minute rental and couldn’t have been happier during our month-long stay with Jeff, Melody and Monkey (the cat)! From the start, we were welcomed with friendliness and hospitality which extended to wonderful conversations, shared produce from the gardens, and we were even treated to a band rehearsal session by Jeff and their son, Julian. In it all, Melody and Jeff were extremely respectful of our privacy and desire for a quiet, relaxed stay. They provided a lovely hammock, outdoor seating and beautiful grounds to explore as well.
The cottage itself is comfortable for two and fully equipped with anything you might need for a stay here. Melody also made sure to keep us stocked with toilet paper, fresh towels and linens, including a comforter for every weather condition we could possibly experience during the month of September! The fresh flowers from their garden that graced our little home was another beautiful touch.
The location is incredibly quiet and scenic, yet a quick 5 minute walk to downtown and Lithia Park. We walked everywhere, explored some nearby hiking trails and kept our car safely parked in the driveway for most of our stay. Overall, we highly recommend the Pine St. cottage!
