Excellent location and comfortable. The floor and shower were covered in dog hair upon check in so if you are allergic to dogs this isn't for you.

Perfect cottage weekend
When we opened the door to this adorable place we fell in love right away. We took a weekend to get away from the cities and I am so glad we picked this spot. It was so blissfully quiet and night. The space is updated and has so much charm. It’s great to be able to walk to local bars and restaurants. I seriously got sad when it was time to leave. Things that impressed me:Clean. This place was spotless.Cozy loft bed.Woodwork and craftsmanship.Relaxing vibe.Quiet and intimate.A 10 out of 10!
