We had a wonderful stay at this fully renovated Old Town cottage. The home is beautifully updated while still keeping its charm, and everything felt clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The location couldn’t be better — just minutes from downtown and ab beautiful city park, making it easy to explore the area without ever needing to drive far.The neighborhood is quiet and welcoming, and the cottage itself feels like a peaceful retreat after a day out. It’s the perfect blend of convenience and comfort, and we would happily stay here again.
