As you can see from the photos, this beautiful cottage is a great spot to spend a few days! Our cottage sleeps a maximum of 4 people and our rates begin at $245/night for 1-2 guests. Any additional guests after the first two are charged $25/person/night. Charging more for extra guests is done to cover the additional costs associated with accommodating more people. These costs include extra linens, towels, toiletries and increased wear and tear on the property. In the event of an unplanned cancellation, you will receive a refund if we re-rent the days you have reserved. We recommend travel insurance thru the VRBO check-out process, especially for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in August.
