Great space, perfect location!

Elizabeth was wonderful and has a delightful set up on her property. The cottage is behind the main house but a large hedge makes it nice and private. Close to everything, even the silos! Our trips into town were about 15 min or less every time. Elizabeth also offered suggestions for food/activities that were so helpful! The only downside was the Internet. My phone never picked up the server and my computer which did ran extremely slowly. Other than that it was the perfect place to come back to each night!

This is such a wonderful place!

I cannot easily express how much I enjoyed my stay at the cottage. I stayed 2 nights, and found the peace I was seeking. First, the cottage is charming. It is spacious (much bigger than it looks in the pictures) and quaint. It has time-honored details; both the original wood windows and beautiful antique furniture make me swoon. The grounds were very spacious and well maintained. I felt like a guest at a historic manor. Second, it is so very close to the amazing 400-acre Cameron Park, where I spent hours enjoying nature while riding my bike. I biked all the way to downtown several times to enjoy the food and shopping there. I also went to the north to enjoy the beauty of the limestone cliffs. Finally, the owners were hospitable to the max! The were careful to honor my space, but also quick to extend an invitation to join them for a glass of wine. (I said "yes" enthusiastically!) I give the cottage my highest recommendation. I plan to come back soon with my husband and children.

Cute quaint property. The bedroom was a little warm but they left you two standing fans to help with the heat. So close to the park and downtown.
