Baked cookies waiting for us upon arrival. The bathtub was large and relaxing to take a bubble bath in, the entire home was clean, the full kitchen was nice to cook in and the king-sized bed was comfy. Will definitely be returning. Loved all the candles and candle holders.

Perfect

As soon as we walked in the door, the soothing sound of classical music hit our ears. The entire place felt warm and welcoming. The cottage had a cozy yet sophisticated feel. It warmed my heart when I found the two homemade chocolate chip cookies on the counter for us when we arrived. Beautiful, clean, and comfortable stay. One of the best places booked for an overnight getaway.

The carrage house was very quite and private. The location for walking around town is very convenient. Wish we could have stayed long enough to meet the chickens. Would stay again.
