The cottage was beautifully appointed, with not only what we needed but so much more, especially the local artwork and handmade furniture. It was a perfect getaway, with amazing views from the dock, a charming town nearby, and a cozy place to hide out. The hosts left treats for us and were at the ready if we needed anything. A wonderful place to stay, and I'm sure we'll come back, especially when it's not so cold.

We absolutely loved our stay. It was beautiful, clean and relaxing. The hosts were very friendly and they had the cottage stocked with anything we could possibly need. We definitely plan to return!

Thank you, Kelly!
We look forward to your return visit!
Quaint and peaceful cottage. Enjoyed the beauty of it and the history behind it. Had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, washcloths, and pillows! Bed is super comfy and our stay was quiet.
