    A charming cottage located in the heart of Shem Creek just over the bridge in Mt. Pleasant. The cottage consists of 2 bedrooms each with queen size beds and one bathroom.

In a 4 block radius there are 18 restaurants and bars, 2 coffee shops, a beverage super store, a farmers market, and 2 antique malls.

The little cottage is very accurately depicted in the listing. We enjoyed the shady courtyard and privacy fence with our dog. The courtyard is a shared space with other guests but the other couple with dog were super friendly and our dogs had fun together. It was so nice to have a well equipped kitchen and laundry machines during our stay. The beds were super cloud like and comfy. Very walkable to local shem creek park and multiple restaurants. Although in a very busy spot, the parking and private outdoor space felt very relaxing and soothing.
