About the host

Hosted by Ed Dodge

Grandma’s cottage has been in our family for 60+ years. This place is truly an old family cottage. It has been modernized over the years with hot & cold running water, a shower & propane heat. Things it did not have when I stayed there as a child. It was always furnished/decorated with mismatched items handed down from family & friends. That was ok with Grandma. “It’s just a cottage”. That decorating style has carried on throughout the years giving the cottage an eclectic charm.

Why they chose this property

We love our little cottage and the surrounding area. We have chosen to share it as a way to keep it in the family for generations to come. It is maintained and furnished as an owner occupied cottage which will make you feel like an invited guest while our family is away. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
