Rustic cottage
The cottage met our needs for a 2 night stay. It was clean and the bed was quite comfortable. The cottage and outdoor photos were not quite as portrayed in the vrbo pictures and the unit appeared newer than it actually was.

Restful getaway with a wonderful outdoor setting
This property had everything we needed, and more! We most loved the back deck and sitting area with the fire pit. It looked out on the pond. We enjoyed walking around the property, and watching the many beautiful birds that came to the feeders. Recommend!
