Came to the cottage for a girls weekend. Everything was good. Only two things to mention, as I'm not sure they're described on the listing. There is no ice machine or ice trays to make ice. We had to step out to get some, which was no huge deal, just something to note. Also, there is a TV in one of the bedrooms, not both. Again, not a huge deal for us, but may be important to some. Overall, this was a great place to stay at a reasonable price. The location is fabulous!

The house itself was cute, however, our daughter and her family stayed at another property that was 5 minutes away which was 3x the size, 3 bathrooms instead of 1, had actual soap provided (ours did not) and kitchen supplies including k cups (ours did not) and several beds to accommodate the whole family for about $30 more a night. Guest contact was also not very responsive.
