My wife and I loved the cottage. Check in was a breeze with the smart lock and the place was lovely and as described. A beautiful view of the water and wildlife. Would definitely like to return and would recommend to anyone considering this as a getaway for a few days.

Absolutely stay here. This house is perfect for a quiet vacation. It’s private, but a quick drive to many local attractions. So perfect location. Watching bunnies play in the yard, listening to various birds, while enjoying the window open and fresh air in a recliner gets no better. Highly recommend staying here. Poppy who manages the place is awesome too! Very responsive, has great recommendations (Fieldstones! Best restaurant I think I’ve ever been to in my life), and definitely cares that you’re comfortable during your stay. We are now repeat customers as we’ve found our quiet getaway place.
