The best secluded stay in the area.
I liked everything about this cottage. It was not only the convenience and location. It was the homey and cozy vibe of the place.Mike and Sarah took good care of us, and that was what we valued the most out of the whole experience.

unfair overcharge
Place was good for the price. The AC in the bedroom was noisy and stopped intermittently.
I am the type of person who leaves a place extra clean. I wiped down bathroom sink, kitchen sink and table. I leave and then 2 hours later I get a $25 charge because I left huge "amounts of vomit in the sink." I did not vomit at all much less I would never vomit in the kitchen sink. I reached and let them know that I did not vomit in the sink and it was clean when I left. After some back and forth, the manager said not to worry and that I was a good customer. The $25 charge stayed and I owe an extra $25 for something I never did. Sad and frustrating.
