We had the absolute best stay at this cottage! From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and exactly as pictured — if not better.The location truly cannot be beat. Being able to walk to downtown, explore the historic area, and enjoy the waterfront made the trip so relaxing and convenient. We loved starting our mornings with coffee and ending our evenings soaking in the charm of the neighborhood.Emily was an incredible host. Her communication was excellent — clear instructions, easy check-in, and quick responses made everything seamless. When a snowstorm unexpectedly impacted our original travel dates, she graciously allowed us to move our stay, which we were so thankful for. That flexibility and kindness truly made a difference and speaks volumes about the care she shows her guests.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, perfectly located getaway. Thank you, Emily, for such a wonderful stay!
