The hosts were absolutely fantastic. I’m in the music industry an travel a LOT. I can honestly say I have never had a host as attentive, easy to work with, and so good at communication as they were here. The cottage itself is modern, comfortable, and had many items that we typically have to purchase on the road. It’s 5 minutes from the incredible downtown area (hallmark movie material), and we were never in the vehicle more than 6 minutes no matter where we needed to go. I rate our stay 15 out of 10 stars and we will be returning.

Great location! Cute little place in a quiet neighborhood. Close to water and downtown. Near restaurants and shopping. Had a small issue, but owner was very responsive and willing to help. Lots of coffee and creamer supplied (no tea). A little bummed that we didn't find any firewood, the smores packs were all gone, and the popcorn seasonings were all hardened and unusable, but overall a good stay. We would probably stay again

Just what we needed, a quiet weekend get away. Melissa has thought of everything to make you feel cozy and comfortable. My favorite was painting an autumn picture while my husband took an afternoon nap.

Absolutely beautiful

When we picked this it was because we thought the alien were cool. When we got there, it was so beautiful. They have everything you could possibly want or need. It's only a few minutes walk to almost every place we went. I have to say that in all the year's I have used abb, they I by far the best!!!

Cabin was clean. Host stocks coffee, popcorn, smore’s bar. And has outdoor activities as well. Perfect little cabin for a weekend getaway. Bonus that this cabin is pet friendly. Host is very communicative and sent us lots of recommendations. Couples be aware the queen bed and king pull out sofa seem smaller than advertised. The bed was comfortable though and would not deter us from coming back another time. Definitely on our saved list.

Cute place perfect location

We needed a place for an overnight only stay. It was a great option to find this super cute house that didn’t require a 2-day minimum stay. It’s very close to downtown yet very quiet. We didn’t have an opportunity to use anything the host provided but it is nicely presented. Would recommend this cute place for 1-2 people.
