We had such a lovely stay here. They had upgraded rooms available, and upgraded us without even asking. Wilber helped us out in many ways, sharing great information about dining options and things to do. He was extra accommodating which made our stay fantastic. I would definitely stay here again, especially during the off season! It was a nice, quiet getaway.

It met our minimum needs. There was not a chair, desk, microwave or mirror in the room. You cannot see the TV if you are lying on the bed. If you're staying for more than a night or two, get a real hotel room.

Very nice room for stay. There was some sort of critter in the ceiling in bathroom area that was making scratching noises but it wasn’t too distracting. Check in instructions kind of unclear but once it was figured out it was smooth sailing. Love ne

Nice little getaway!

Nice, clean room. Service was great and drove us down to the Cottage. Only a block away from the Main St so location was great. Good room for the price! If being nit picky, the shower head and shower curtain bar were old and could be replaced with modern fixtures. Curtain, tub were clean and had plenty of hot water. Be prepared if walking and not bringing a car with you. The 0.4 miles to the 1661 Inn for checking in, was up hill and not a easy walk. Plus, have to bring keys back too the Inn for check out.

Dodge Cottage was very convenient to town. We could walk to shops and restaurants in minutes. Our room was comfortable and cozy and we even had parking right outside our door. The breakfast buffet at the 1661 house was expansive and delicious, and the service was excellent. We really appreciated how warm and friendly everyone was and it was so nice that there was actually a bell hop who drove us and our luggage to the cottage and even carried everything inside. We would definitely stay there again.

One of the windows was unable to be closed and locked. Although this was in a very, very low crime area, we would have liked to secure the room when we left. The bathroom was small without adequate space to put "things". Generally, the room was comfortable and pleasant.
