Perfect cute ans cozy cottage

I booked this for my partner's birthday and we had a great time. The location is great, the cottage was super clean and had lots of amenities. We were able to bring our dog which we're very happy about. The decor and art are wonderful, you can tell they've put a lot of time and effort into the place. We hope to be back again!

What a great property. A surprise around every corner. We had a great time and felt so comfortable from the moment we stepped in the door. One of our favourites was the blanket wall; such a neat idea for a winter stay. Thank you for your hospitality and going the extra mile to make it a memorable vacation.

A perfect weekend getaway

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Hey Betty Inn. Jeff was always available for any questions we had. We were actually able to check in early and begin the fun! The location is great for families. We walked to the beach, played games in the yard and enjoyed the fire pit at night. Definitely will return! Thanks so much for hosting our family get together
