This cottage is a wonderful, comfortable and a warmly decorated space. It is in a very quiet area but close to a lot of different experiences. The host Erika is easy to communicate with and we had no problems while there. It would be fair to tell folks who are planning to cook meals there that the host requests no heavily odored foods including garlic and onions. That feels important to me as a person who cooks. Overall, a wonderful stay.

Great stay at the Quaint Little Cottage

We stayed at the Quaint Little Cottage while visiting Thomas College. Very easy to get to and from Waterville/the lake and a great alternative to a hotel room. The communication with the hosts was fantastic and the property was clean/exactly as advertised. We would stay here again!

Quaint little cottage

It was a lovely cottage and private but yet close to town. It was a wonderful stay and an enjoyable place. My only thing was not enough kitchen utensils and basic amenities.
