The cottage was charming. We loved being able to walk to town
This was a cute little home. Beds were comfortable. It was within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and The Center for the Arts theatre. The only thing I disliked was the driveway. We pulled all the way in to the carport but it took a couple tries to back out. I suggest backing in or don't pull all the way in to the carport. Kimberly's communication is great. We loved our stay.
