There were 3 of us older women that stayed at this cottage just to shop and dine in this little town instead of following our husbands on another one of their golf trips. What a wonderful place to stay. Very clean, comfortable, and well equipped cottage , smack in the middle of downtown. Perfect and safe. We highly recommend this listing.
