Jun 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Adult slumber party This was a very cute cottage! It also was very well stocked with coffee items and trash bags, etc. Too often, properties leave you with lots of staples you have to buy like toilet paper, coffee filters, and trash bags. We were only there for one night, so it was nice to have those items on hand. I wish I’d had more time to walk in the gardens, etc on the property. I’ve lived in this community for 30 years and always admired this pretty little cottage on the hill. It is just as pretty on the inside. ##### Ann B.
