Piece of Parat

This quaint cottage/house was just lovely. It was clean, cozy and convenient. The island was perfect for a bike ride to the point, the islanders were as warm and friendly as the home we stayed in. The back screened in porch was a great place to rest our feet after a long day at dog trials. We really were very pleased overall with our stay. Jennifer the host has done a great job and was great at Communicating with us.

Loved this home!

Everything was great, clean, super easy check in and check out. The only thing is that the beds were super uncomfortable and squeaky with the slightest bit of movement. I think if that was fixed we would absolutely stay here again.

Yes, it was pet friendly. The selection of glasses was outstanding and so was the quality of the tv .The house was very clean and stocked with everything you would need.. The decorations in the house were very good .It didn't have a view of anything so if you couldn't go anywhere there was nothing to see.Active people would love it because there is so much to see and do in Tilghman.
