Comfortable Cottage

My sister and a friend stayed at the cottage and explored antique and thrift stores. Great location for food and shopping. After a full day of retail therapy, we relaxed and played cards on the beautiful dining room table. The owner has a true gift for decorating and the house was very clean. This is our 2nd time renting there and look forward to a 3rd.

Was such a charming home, like other reviews mentioned. Great location, and in a nice neighborhood. Enough space for 3 adults. My spouse and I slept in the Queen bed room, and my sister slept in the Full bed room. My bed was flat and soft with plenty of quilts and covers to choose from. It jiggled whenever we moved, so it was an exercise in not waking each other up. But the house was quiet and cool and homey. It had all the kitchen items we needed to make meals, with a big dining table. It was nice to relax on the sofa in the evenings. The bathroom was small but that goes along with old homes. My brother in law would be too big and tall to stay there, but for me being smaller, it was wonderful. Would stay again.
