Absolutely loved our stay at this cottage! It was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect—peaceful and private, yet close to local spots. The host was wonderful and made everything so easy. Can’t wait to come back!

We loved the Crane's Cottage. The atmosphere is lovely, bed comfy, and it feels like a warm nook to relax in. Hosts were responsive and helpful. We were there in November so we weren't able to partake of the environs. It sits next to a number of municipal buildings but it is shielded by trees and a fence and we never heard a thing! Walking distance to a very good little Italian restaurant that we enjoyed twice!

Convenient and unique

The cottage is situated on beautiful grounds and it was a great location for visiting family. The cottage itself was musty, which can cause breathing issues. The bed on the platform was a little difficult to maneuver, especially at night. There’s a nice deck off of the living room that we enjoyed at breakfast.
