This cottage is spacious, and in a very quiet neighborhood. The literature placed in the resting areas added such a homely touch. It was a treat to just sit on the enclosed porch reading or spend quality preparing dinner together in the kitchen We really enjoyed our stay there! Sabrina ##### Sabrina S.
