We have stayed at Meme's cottage twice and this year brought family to stay at Papa's cottage. It was so great having our families close to enjoy a fire in the evenings. We were able to have our own spaces and gather when we wanted to be together! The homes are very clean and decorated beautifully. They are both very well stocked. We look forward to our trip next year.

Heather and Scott's place was great. The pictures matched the view. My wife and her friends were in love with the decor. it was all great. The only minor issue is that the bathroom needed time between multiple uses, or it would act up. but I understand that is something you have to deal with when having a septic waste system. I would definitely book this air bnb again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Heather & Scott’s cottages! The accommodations were exactly as expected. We came for a girls’ weekend and enjoyed the hot tub and cozy accommodations. Heather has great attention to detail - you can see it in all the little touches. We would definitely stay here again if back in the area. A great find!

Heather and Scott’s cottages are Bristol and comfortable! Everything you need is there, including a basket of items in case you forget something. The beds are comfortable and the sheets are like butter! There is chopped wood for the fire pit, which was a great place to gather at night. We will definitely stay again!
