About this property

Welcome to Grandma's Cottage!

Relax with the whole family at Grandma's Cottage! Plenty of room for entertaining. Party sized deck and abundance of seating. Open dining room to living room for chatting and games. Host your family's holiday gatherings here or a ladies wine night! The options are endless! Please note that this home was built in the early 1900s and it isn't perfect. Window AC units only** There are flaws that add character and tell stories. This is also a farm property so flies, lady bugs and other pests are normal.

This is a historical home which we enjoyed for our short stay. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. As stated there is only window unit air conditioning and it isn't in every room. We happened to be there on a very hot day so during the heat of the day it couldn't keep up but by evening all rooms were pleasant and it made for a good rest.

This was a great place to stay with family. We were in town for a family function and this place was fantastic for kids of all ages. we had our family come back with us after our gathering and the kids all enjoyed playing with the yard games and toys they had on site. A big beautiful porch on the back and another in front. The fresh duck eggs were the topping on the cake. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect and cozy

The house was perfect. The property was the perfect distance from town. The only thing you'd hear when stepping out onto the back deck was quiet and birds. There were window ac's and fans in every room and four quaint bedrooms. It was exactly like the pictures. I will definitely be staying here again in the future. The owners were fantastic, answering any questions I had and check in was super easy and there were farm fresh eggs.
