Great space and super cozy. Deck is wonderful to overlook the woods and enjoy the sun. Kitchen is minimal meaning no stove or oven but that is great for someone who just needs a microwave, fridge, and coffee pot. Definitely will return and love that it is pet friendly too!

The place was charming and the host was attentive!

We loved our stay in this sweet little cottage. We felt welcome from the beginning when the place had a bottle of wine and Faris checked in to make sure we got in okay and see if we had any other needs. I’d definitely stay here again!
