Stayed at the cottage with my parents and 3 kids and there was plenty of room for all of us. We loved how cozy the house was, clean, convenient location, and it had pretty much everything we needed. Alex was quick to respond and very helpful! I loved drinking my coffee in the sunroom and watching the chickens in the morning! Would definitely stay at the cottage again!

The house was great! There were ample dishes, glasses, pans and silverware. There were plenty of seating options in the living room, dining room and den. The bedrooms were comfy. The neighborhood was really pretty, and there are plenty of businesses within walking distance. The yard is beautifully landscaped and filled with flowers, and there are multiple seating areas. The chickens in the backyard were adorable, and we spent a lot of time out there watching them. We ran into the owner several times while he was going about his day, and he was charming and responsive to questions. I highly recommend this listing.

This cozy cottage was great for our reunion weekend. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had just about everything we needed for our dinners off the grill. Our host was very responsive and came over from next door to help us adjust the AC on an unusually warm October day ! We very much enjoyed our stay and we do recommend : )
