Beautiful AND Dog Friendly!

Beautifully decorated with lots of special touches - from extra toothbrushes & paste in the bathrooms, to mints & water by the beds, to fresh-baked cookies in the kitchen. The large space out back was perfect for walking the dogs, and the neighborhood was lovely and quiet. We enjoyed our stay!

We had to move after one day because of water issues with the bathroom to a place that was bigger but very outdated with poor kitchen, owner was polite but we never would have rented that type of home. Location was good but many issues with property.

Beautiful cottage in a serene setting minutes from all attractions.

This cottage was spotless and beautifully appointed. Both the owner and property manager were welcoming and responsive. For those traveling with pets, the cottage has generous green space, and is in a beautifully walkable location. Beds are comfy, the kitchen is a cook's delight, and the shower is a luxorious experience! We will be back@ manrestaurants.
