This house has a lot of character and charm! The fenced backyard was perfect for our dog, too. Communication with our host and check-in were both easy and efficient. Would stay again and recommend to friends and family!

Cute cottage

We enjoyed the cute, clean, and roomy cottage. Beds were so comfortable, and furnishings were perfect. The cottage is large, and bedrooms on opposite sides of the house, make for lots of personal space. Nice fenced yard, with both yard, and front porch sitting areas. The train sound lulled me to sleep, after the whistle finished its 3 toots. We recommend the cottage.

Short stay on Short street

Most everything was fine for our weekend stay. House has a nice xeriscaped front area, probably looks amazing in the spring. House was cute inside and out. Negatives: tub was dirty with some sort of grime that we had to clean so we could use. The fridge functioned but obviously there were issues with the shelving as it was held in place by duct tape. One of the arm chairs was damaged and if you were not paying attention you could get scratched by the loose upholstery staples.
