This cottage was clean & comfortable with plenty of towels, pillows, and privacy. When I arrived, I walked over to the main home and introduced myself. The hosts were there with fresh cookies! They were attentive, welcoming, & very kind. I would absolutely go back! ##### Erin R. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer V. Aug 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Little Base Camp As empty-nesters, we love finding spots to reconnect with our 20-something kids. Emerson Cottage proved to be ideal. We loved exploring the area beaches, towns and dining, but maybe most enjoyed sitting on the property patio playing cards with the kids. Thank you Ron and Amelia for making us feel so welcome in your charming inn. (PS - Highly recommend packing a copy of "Nature and Selected Essays" by Ralph Waldo himself to read during your stay.) ##### Jennifer V.
