Cute and Spacious
This house has a lot of character and charm! The fenced backyard was perfect for our dog, too. Communication with our host and check-in were both easy and efficient. Would stay again and recommend to friends and family!

Cute cottage
We enjoyed the cute, clean, and roomy cottage. Beds were so comfortable, and furnishings were perfect. The cottage is large, and bedrooms on opposite sides of the house, make for lots of personal space. Nice fenced yard, with both yard, and front porch sitting areas. The train sound lulled me to sleep, after the whistle finished its 3 toots. We recommend the cottage.
