We really wish we could have stayed longer! We had a great time, they were very welcoming and the property had so many great amenities. They even had things we weren't expecting like some snacks and some extra bathroom essentials in case you left yours at home. Even though the snow and ice was rough during our stay they shoveled out a nice path to the cottage and dug out a perfect spot to park. We really loved it here and are definitely thinking about coming back in better weather.

We absolutely loved our stay here. "Cottage" is the perfect description, as it's basically your own private home. The owners clearly care about the experience of their guests. They have included every amenity you could imagine, and then some! We were visiting our daughter in the area, so the location was perfect for us. Parking on the street was free and easy. We had clear instructions with every aspect needed for the property. The location was quiet, peaceful, and so well equipped. We would gladly stay here again. Thank you for such a wonderful property!
