Carol’s cottage is spacious, the front and back decks are big and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, dishes, pots and pans, we just needed to bring food. We would recommend this rental to our friends and family!!

Great Place for Family Time

We appreciated having such a lovely, clean space with plenty of beds and baths to accommodate our family gathering of six adult sisters. Although our weekend plans didn't leave time to take advantage of cooking in the well appointed kitchen it would have been a delightful place to prepare a meal. We loved sitting on the back screened-in porch drinking our morning coffee, listening to an array of birds and watching a charm of finches.
