Everything about this experience was great. From the ease of reserving, to our communication with the host Alison, to our wonder stay at the cottage. I was with my immediate family and adult nieces and we all had a great time. The cottage was cozy and was stocked with everything we needed. We grilled out, used the firepit at night and even gathered around the dining room table to play games. I would reserve this cottage again. Thank you Alison! ##### Mary E.

There were enough bedrooms for my husband and I to stay there with our son’s family of five. Well equipped kitchen, charming interior with a fireplace in the living room, and a screened in porch gives this place extra appeal. Allison was very prompt about responding to my questions. ##### RaNae J.
