The home comfortably sleeps up to six guests across three thoughtfully appointed bedrooms: one with a king bed, one with a queen, and a third with two twin beds. The two bathrooms offer convenience and privacy—one with a stand-up shower and the other with a tub/shower combo.
Entertainment options abound with a cabinet full of classic board games for all ages. Guests will also appreciate the washer and dryer for added convenience during longer stays.

Comfortable & Cozy & Perfectly Equipped

We stayed in this lovely cottage last year for my husband's birthday, and he wanted to return for his birthday this year. The property is adorable, well cared for, comfortable, clean, the yard is lovely and fully fenced and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. The home is stocked with snacks and drinks and bathroom luxuries and a lovely coffee bar. We loved it the first time and could not wait to return this time. Excellent owner communication. Just a great property - HIGHLY recommend.
