Great Cottage . Great location. Zero issues

Great Cottage that fulfilled our needs and was exactly as described and in the photos. Multiple options for where you want to hang out .....outside deck, screened in outside porch and nice kitchen area... etc. Neighbors were great.... talked to three different ones during our five day stay. Diane across the street was very nice.
Such a photogenic house
Our little buddy "Nutshell" came along for the trip. He approved.👍
