This rental is a charming, two bedroom cottage perfect for a romantic couples' get-a-way or small family vacation. It has an ideal location just two houses from downtown shops and restaurants and is secluded on a dead end,. cul-de-sac with little traffic or pedestrian noise. The cottage has a very private stone patio in the back off the master bedroom which has an umbrella table and chairs and a chimenea for romantic fires, on those cool nights. The large side yard is nicely landscaped and is a great place for a picnic, yard games or child's play. The cottage is Pet Friendly and there's even a bike rack for securing your bike. Pickleball and Tennis courts are just a few blocks away.

Being just a stone's throw from downtown you'll find yourself walking everywhere. The Cottage is also only a block away from the river and Wickes Park where you can sit and watch the river boat traffic, people watch or fish. The chain ferry is at the end of the street and can take you across the river where you can walk or ride your bike to the beach.

Having two (2) on-site parking spots is especially welcoming when you drive somewhere and come back later to find them waiting on your return and being the only two open spots anywhere around. You'll enjoy your time in this cottage and the ease of access to downtown. You'll definitely want to return.

The cottage is rented weekly during the Summer Season and nightly during the Spring and Fall with a 2 or 3 night minimum stay.

Two small dogs (20 lbs each or less or one medium sized) are allowed with the owner's approval and payment of a Pet Fee. Please read the included Pet Policy requirements; especially the need to kennel/crate your pet(s) whenever left alone in the cottage.

Our linen package includes bed pads, pillows, pillow cases, sheets and blankets. Bath mats & dish towels are also provided. However, It is necessary for you to bring your own bath and beach towels. Obviously, the washer/dryer will make this requirement easier.
