Mar 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Lovely Cottage The hosts have made this cute little place most comfortable. The only downside is it’s location adjacent to a four lane thoroughfare, which can create noticeable traffic noise. Otherwise, a very nice weekend get-away! ##### Chip S.
