About the host

Host profile image
Hi, My name is Charlie, my wife Cynthia are excited to share our family cottage. This house was originally built by my grand parents in 1953. We purchased the house from our family in early 2020. Our goal was to keep this house and property in our family and share this with others. We started off the renovation by adding an addition which is the master suite and bath. We have replaced the roofing, siding, windows, exterior doors, electrical, plumbing, heating & cooling including AC. We also removed all the interior walls, changed room & wall locations, installed all new insulation, drywall, paneling, beams, doors, kitchen, appliances, bathrooms ect.. Everything in this cottage is new. We know you will love your stay here.
