A place by the water

The host was gracious and had great communication. The place was clean and spacious. We needed salt for the sidewalk and extra toilet paper but they were both easy to locate in the hall closet and cupboards. Thank you for the sticker and postcard gifts!

Serene

This was what I had hoped for...a respite. The cottage was nice, the freighters magnificent, and I was rejuvinated. It was over new year's and doing puzzles and watching out the window was just what I needed. Great for my small dogs and sister.m.m.
