The gardens are truly special: meandering stone pathways, a solar-powered fountain, a shaded pergola with table and chairs, a hammock chair, and an antique peacock swing — all offering shade, privacy, and a peaceful retreat. At the edge of the garden, you’ll find a charming shed repurposed as an outdoor bar with boho flair.

Great area and very walkable. Neighborhood is peaceful. The well-stocked kitchen makes you feel welcome and comfortable. The beds could be more supportive and comfortable, and the TV screen was a bit small. Overall, a thumbs up!

Abundantly perfect cottage! Loved this place, owner is very responsive and welcoming. Everything you need for a few days stay is here. Great location, very clean and convenient. 5 stars!
A sweet little 1920s cottage with both original details and wise updates. So many thoughtful touches made this a unique and very comfortable stay. Highly responsive owner with great communication. Full-size appliances, impeccable cleanliness, and lots of whimsy. It was a true retreat from some intense training I was undergoing. I very much enjoyed staying at this property and hope to return some day.
