10/10 can’t say enough good things! Gorgeous property, easy check-in/check-out and great communication. Denise was super friendly and accommodating, couldn’t ask for a better host. The house itself was very clean and cozy. We visit every few months and hope to stay here again, we loved it.

Friendly and Close to Town

Our hostess was very friendly and accommodating. The cottage is rustic and very close to restaurants and stores. The place was clean, but the bathroom is extremely small. Also, the driveway to the cottage is almost hidden since it is overgrown with trees.
