Every time I opened a kitchen Cabinet a new surprise! Well stocked amenities! Just one suggestion a step stool for us’ins under 5’2. I did look for one. That’s why the spice’s weren’t put back exactly in the correct spot. I didn’t use the table stool again. My balance on the knee barely worked the first time.The house with the overgrown garden ….to bad it’s outside your back door. Nice back porch and sitting areas. I loved sitting on the front porch and relaxing with coffee and a book. Enjoyed cooking in the kitchen!Thanks again for a great stay!!!

Location Qualit Outstanding!

This was a perfect cottage experience - the house itself is so charming and well kept but what puts it over the top is the location! It is literally minutes from the wonderful forest trails or the lake. You can't go wrong with a walk in either direction! And it is an easy walk to the beach park and Village! I stayed two weeks to work on a writing project and could have stayed longer. Two of my favorite features of the house are the electric fireplace indoors and the gas fire pit on the porch. And the fact that they welcome dogs is a wonderful accommodation. All communication was fast and responsive to help with some issues that needed attention. I hope to return!

Perfect Getaway

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay. The home was peaceful, comfortable and clean. We loved the front porch and the propane fire pit there. The proximity to the trails, lake and shoppes made it easy for us to take advantage of all of them. It was everything we wanted.
