Charming Cottage

Our family stayed in this charming cottage while in town for a family wedding. It was comfortable and felt like a home away from home. They’re was also a Fall Festival going on so we were welcomed by live music, fantastic food and people.

Will be back

Our stay in Washington was great. The place was perfect for our family visit. It had a great location, there was plenty to do within walking distance. I highly reccomend visiting the swallows nest across the street. The place was clean and orderly, it had all the basics in the kitchen. Each bedroom had its own window unit for AC which made it very convient. We intend to visit Washington again and hope to stay here again.

The house was simply beautiful. It was a plus having the chair loft for our coach to get up and down stairs. If pur group stays small for our next competition in the area we will definitely book again.

Girls Weekend!

A great house, very well kept, and updated. Very impressed with the cleanliness! Tripped a breaker when a hair dryer and the window units upstairs were running, so ventured downstairs to fix - even the basement was clean, based on the age of the house! Located across the street is a lunch/brunch shop and a great patio for live music at the Swallows Nest. Fantastic location to all the downtown shops and eateries! Would recommend and plan to stay again! Thank you for a great place for our long weekend!

Birthday Celebration

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had an amazing time. The house is more than stocked with whatever you need. The hosts responded promptly with any questions. The beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean and decorated for Christmas. We loved it. Our daughter has MS so the stair climber was such a blessing as she has a hard time with stairs. Thank you so much!

quiet and peaceful

It was a four night stay to accomodate three colleagues. We basically ate supper, slept the night and left for the day everyday. It was peaceful, near the pretty downtown area and close enough to all of the necessary shops and stores.
