Cute little cottage, conveniently located! We enjoyed our stay - do wish there was more grass on the property for the pup, since it is asked to not allow dogs to urinate on the grass inside the fenced yard.

Location, location, location! Our daughter’s wedding was at Alhambra Hall. We live about 60 miles away so we knew we wanted to be closer. We also needed somewhere with outdoor space for our dogs. This was perfect for what we needed. After the event, we enjoyed walking to Shem Creek. The house was comfortable and the bed linens were delightful. The bathroom is tiny but to be expected in a house of this time period. The yard was great for the dogs; better lighting would be a great addition. Joe was very responsive with our pre-check in questions. The posting didn’t mention that there is a pet fee and another unit that shares the yard. Overall, great choice for our home base during all the festivities!
