Thoughtfully furnished, beautifully renovated, and well-located cottage off a private and scenic road that is close to Kingston yet feels rural and quiet. Hosts were warm and responsive. Would be glad to return (and hope to soon).

Beautiful, cozy and quiet

This beautiful home is located on a quiet dead end street. It was even better than described in the listing. My little one didn’t like the lack of cell phone service but I loved it. Beautifully keep property, very clean home. Met the property mgr and family member I. Person, truly amazing people. Thank you for everything!

Rustic luxury

Everything was perfect. Lots of privacy for two couples, small functional kitchen, very comfortable beds, no weird smells. We really appreciated the style and design of this cottage. Good book choices and art. The pool was clean and refreshing and the hosts were accessible via text. All the stars, all the time!

Cute and Equipped

The cottage is spacious and has tons of character. I stayed for a week and can’t think of anything I needed and didn’t have. Additional hand towels and kitchen towels may have come in handy, but I made due with what was there and it wasn’t a problem. Would stay with this host again!
