Karen was super responsive and beyond helpful! Her cottage is so cute and is equipped with everything you need, and then some. Very clean, very cozy! Blankets galore! I recommend checking in and then going to the grocery, because chances are you won’t need several things on your list! Pretty much everything you need is there for you to use. The front of the house is very bright and airy, and the back bedroom makes a perfect dark “cave” for working night shift!The area is very convenient to a cute little town, and to restaurants, shops, etc. I would say the only negative is loud music when someone is playing pickleball next door. It was only on Saturdays during my long stay, and it wasn’t obnoxious, but you can definitely hear it. That one negative doesn’t outweigh the hundreds of positives, though! Highly recommended!
