It was aesthetically pleasing & a great location for us. The host was very responsive & pleasant.Some of the aesthetics weren’t practical for our stay. The Edison bulbs in the bathroom were insufficient lighting to do makeup. The main bathroom needs a bath mat, otherwise you step out on slick tile. A luggage rack would be helpful in the front bedroom.As this is a historical property, regular pest control & dusting behind & underneath furniture is a necessity. We unknowingly were also sharing the cottage with Charlotte & her extended arachnid family. Again, the host was very responsive & took immediate action to mitigate the insect invasion so we would happily stay here again (upon confirmation of Charlotte & Co.’s eviction).

Amazing place, amazing host!
We booked all three houses for a ladies' retreat and could not have asked for a more perfect site. All the houses were pristinely clean and the kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. There was ample everything. Added bonuses were the large rolling cart and the huge washer and dryers. Pam answered my questions quickly and was wonderful to work with. We couldn't have been more pleased and plan to book again in the future. Thank you so much!
