The cottage was comfortable & quiet. The kitchen had all the accessories that we needed & everything was in great shape. The bedding was beautiful & comfortable. The location was minutes from the adorable downtown with great restaurants. It was within good distance from the Equestrian Center. I would stay again if in the area.

We loved the location and the charm of the cottage. The neighborhood is quiet and this is something that we appreciated. In addition, the bedrooms have blackout drapes and that makes for a good nights sleep.Definitely would stay here again. The responsiveness of the owners was fantastic. When we arrived, the AC was not generating cold air. A quick text with Chris, and within an hour a tech was there fixing it while we were at dinner. We came back to a totally chill environment.
