What a gem of a property! One of the few times you can actually say you wish you could give more than a 5 star rating! A must for families. The layout and space is perfect. Can't say enough about the host! Went above and beyond with the accommodations and more. Highly recommend. We will make this spot our usual place when we decide to return!

Our family used this convenient house to stay for our youngest son's graduation at a nearby college. We were traveling with another son, and a daughter with her children (our grandchildren). It worked great for an overnight stop. It was nice for the children to have space to walk around after a long trip from PA. Very acommodating and kid friendly. Would recommend this spot to friends coming to the area! Clean and cheerful. The kids had fun finding all of the turtles :) Thank you for the Cozy Turtle :)
