Wonderful cottage!
We loved our stay here. The cottage & yard are beautiful, and the historic neighborhood is beautiful & quiet. The cottage had everything you need & many great touches. Heather was so kind & easy to communicate with through the app. The homeowners left us completely alone to enjoy the backyard & pool. We will definitely be returning!

Perfect anniversary weekend!
The cottage was just adorable with everything we could need or want. It was so well stocked and everything tucked away. Beautiful neighborhood. It was amazing to swim in the morning and watch the hummingbirds get their breakfast from the amazing native landscaping and flowers. We loved it and would highly recommend to couples!

This property was just as advertised. Comfortable and nice. Communication with Heather was easy and prompt. Street was quite dark so the property can easily be missed at night but the neighborhood is lovely and historic.

What a cute and cozy cottage?!!!
My best friend and I stayed here for a little girls getaway and it was absolutely perfect!! The space was perfect for us, it was clean and we had everything we needed. The pool area is the absolute best. Flowers all around, quiet and relaxing. If you’re worried about the fact that it is “in someone’s back yard”, don’t. We didn’t see a single person and they made us feel like the whole area was completely ours. Just absolutely amazing!!!
