This was a lovely and well appointed place to stay. The location is great for sightseeing, fishing, shopping and hiking. We had several cold rainy days and it was good to have a warm, comfortable place to return to. Our hosts were quick to answer texts. Definitely an A place to stay.

The kitchen was well-equipped, the bed was comfortable and the location was great. The out-dated electrical system made me uncomfortable, as well as the air conditioning system during the very hot days.

Second visit to this cute cottage

This is a cute, clean, well-stocked, comfortable cottage. The owners were very accommodating, even letting us know the cottage was available a bit early the day of arrival. We brought a tether for our dog only to find they already have one available near the deck. The cottage is close to town which is very convenient, but the road can be busy which is why I gave 4 stars to location. I would definitely stay here again!
Chillin' on the deck!

The house was very comfortable for the two of us. The living room and kitchen were well sized. The bathroom has plenty of counter space to put out bathroom/cosmetic supplies. The location is very convenient to downtown. The house is a bit noisy with the portable air conditioner, dehumidifier and the road noise, but not enough that it ruins the stay. The outside patio was very nice for an evening beverage and reading.
