Dishonest people. Advertised laundry and DID NOT HAVE IT on site. Gave us 100 to go to laundromat and promised but DID NOT give us a partial refund.Easy check in, kitchen has everything you need. Could use recycling bin.

This was a last minute find for just one night and we were extremely pleased with this little cottage. It was a great location and we felt we were "in the woods". Everything was so easy and had we not already had reservations somewhere else we would have stayed another night! Highly recommend this as a couples retreat. :)

The stay at cottage
Over all my stay was very nice area is quiet although i kept waking up to a sounds in the house, not sure what it was.
This is our second time staying in the cottage. It is a picturesque, spotless, quiet little cottage in a convenient location for visiting local attractions. The hosts are very helpful and responsive. We'll be back!!

Gorgeous cottage in heavenly location
We ❤️ our stay at this GORGEOUS cottage straight from a Disney fairytale! The cottage was impeccably kept. It was cleaner than my own home (and I'm bit of a neat freak). The owners though of EVERYTHING! Highly recommended!!
