We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely return!!! The host (Kira/Kimberly) was extremely communicative leading up to and during our stay, offering us local recommendations if needed. The Ivy Cottage itself was beautiful, spacious, and clean. It had all the amenities we wanted (plus more!) and extras for the dog too :)

Perfect!

The Ivy Cottage is easily the nicest short-term rental we've ever stayed in! Beautifully appointed and well-equipped, everything you need is provided, without clutter. Comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces.The location was perfect for a couple of days of bird watching. If we're in the area again, we'll definitely stay here.

The ivy cottage was by far the nicest cottage we ever stayed in. The kitchen was fully equipped as well as the bathrooms. The beds and bedding were very luxurious. The cottage was unbelievable so clean. The back yard deck had very comfortable seating as well it was fully fenced so the children could fun and play. The extra bonus was the wonderful basket that was left for us, that was full of surprises for the adults as well as the children. Thankyou so much for making our thanksgiving stay a special one.

Excellent Experience

We stayed at the Ivy Cottage with our family over Thanksgiving. The cottage was spacious, comfortable, well organized and clean. Kira was an excellent host, easy to communicate with, and prompt in response. She went out of her way to prepare a gift basket for us and provided us brochures for nearby activities. We would definitely recommend this property to our friends and family!

Pampered Stay

What a lovely property! The pictures don’t do it justice. We felt spoiled with everything. Every little detail has been thought of to make you feel at home, but also on vacation! We were also treated to a basket of goodies, with fresh bread and snacks (including for our dog!). Very pet friendly. It is aClose walk to everything in town. Kimberly was very responsive to all messages. Will come back again!

Ivy Cottage visit

The Ivy Cottage is everything advertised and more. Our host Kira has anticipated guests every need in advance, so it seems like all you need do is think about needing something and it’s magically at your fingertips. From the lovely Welcome basket that greeted us on entry to the well-appointed kitchen to the fire pit with wood and a lighter, and even a popper scooper station in the yard, it was all we were hoping for. And Twins icecream shop is literally a few steps from the door. We loved it.

Family Get Away

Communication with our host was great. She is very responsive and did everything possible to make our stay wonderful. She left a gift basket with a bottle of wine. The house is so perfectly set up with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It has all the conveniences of home and is well situated. The kitchen is wonderful and I did my share of cooking while away. The master suite is so nice with a fireplace and ensuite bath. We loved the pups had a fenced in yard. The grocery store and Liquor store were just around the corner. I would stay here again with no questions.

Beautiful home in quiet location

We stayed here for 2 nights while in the area for a sports tournament. It was a great spot to spend time between games to relax and spend family time. The backyard was great for the little ones to burn off energy. The host provided some toys for the kids to use outside which was great along with the welcome gift basket with thoughtful additions for everyone including wine and snacks. The grocery store just steps away was so convenient for any last minute needs and the cutest ice cream shop steps away was a hit with kids and adults. The house itself is so beautifully adorned. Bathrooms and kitchen were modern and clean. Its impeccably kept and overall cleanliness was 10/10. We would definitely recommend this place!
