Very nice little place. Everything you could think of was provided, from coffee pods to lots of towels. The fenced in back yard was great for the dog - no worries about her getting out.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The house was cute, clean and very well equipped. Host was very responsive and friendly. Property very pet friendly with fenced backyard. The only drawback we experienced was the local and street fireworks all weekend (over 4th of July) was very very loud so beware if your dogs are sensitive to this, or if you have PTSD.
