The house and location is great! It is an older house so it echos. But stunning view of the town from the top floors. And perfect lower level walk out for people who can’t do stairs as well.

We had a great time at the Arlington Cottage! The house was very clean, well stocked bathrooms and kitchen. The game room was a hit and the fireplaces were so cozy to sit by. There are a lot of winding stairs in the house which can be a little tricky for younger and older guest but overall house was fantastic!
