This cottage is absolutely beautiful and the hosts go above and beyond to make their guests comfortable. There are three separate outdoor seating areas while the indoors includes a living room with TV and a piano, a sunroom with comfy sofa and a computer, and an exceptionally well equipped kitchen. The kitchen has a Keurig coffeemaker with pods, a French press, and a Cuisinart coffee maker, as well as a coffee grinder. The beds are made up with silky soft, 100% cotton, Biltmore sheets. The towels are plentiful and also thick and plush. There are even boxes of ear plugs in the night stands, extra toothbrushes in the bathroom, games, cards, a lovely coloring book and crayons, and so many other wonderful, welcoming touches. Our hosts even left us a small basket of snacks and wine. The cottage is decorated in an eclectic style that provides something interesting to see on every wall and in every corner. The yard is fenced, ideal for dogs and children, and is planted with a delightful variety of flowers and shrubs. My husband and I and our dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. My husband did want me to mention that the TV was somewhat confusing to operate, but then we are aging Boomers, so… ##### Kathy C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025
