The location was excellent and close to our family. The rooms were comfortable and the laundry was an awesome convenience. The cottage met our needs for those two days and the cookies were delicious!

Really enjoyed our stay The cottage is small yes but more than adequate for two people and it’s cozy. The grill was nice to have. Hosts are friendly and available if you need them but they give you your space too.

The property grounds are beautiful, and the location is in a quiet, rural setting, that is also less than two minutes away from many conveniences. The lodging itself is small, but perfect for two people, though you could easily accommodate four. The only suggestion is bring a fan to help move the cool air of the air conditioner if staying on particularly hot days.Side note- host makes excellent cookies.
