Cozy Cottage
Everything about our stay was great! The property is close to town but on a very quiet street. We were in town for a family reunion so we did not cook but it appeared that the kitchen had everything you would need if you chose to.
We found the beds to be extremely comfortable and slept well. The cottage was very clean and quite well stocked. We would definitely stay here again when we are in the area!
