Warm & inviting, the decor was well put together with love and care. Shelly thought of everything, we needed for nothing. I forgot my shampoo, and she had a wonderful selection of shampoo, conditioner, & body wash for us to choose from, it was the good stuff too, ha! Plenty of towels, blankets, & linens. The bed was literally heaven, it felt like I was sleeping on a cloud, ha. The kitchen was fully stocked, there was even ziplock bags etc… a coffee bar with coffee pods, sugar, tea & hot cocoa… everything you needed to make s’mores, & popcorn, ha! All you need is to bring yourself & any food you will want to eat. The TV has Roku, so you can watch movies… Shelly was great at communicating, easy to get ahold of, very helpful & easy going. It was the dead of winter, so we weren’t able to really use the outside, but it didn’t matter. We still had a wonderful time! We want to come back! Can’t wait. Thank you Shelly for giving us a place away from the chaos of life. Giving us a peaceful time together for our Valentine getaway. ❤️ Love Renée & Jason ##### Renée Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corlia Elize 20 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Pet- friendly, beautiful cottage Close to the water Exactly as advertised Very relaxing ##### Corlia Elize Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liz A. 9 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Beautiful location, cozy and inviting!
