Great Place To Stay

I was very pleased with this home. It's homey, comfortable, and has everything you need. They are plenty of towels and the kitchen is fully equipped with small appliances, utensils and spices. They even have a griddle for pancakes. Dawn, the host, responds quickly to messages and was very understanding when we had to stay a little bit past check out due to car issues which, we greatly appreciated since we were already so stressed and had nowhere else to go and didn't know what to do. The only things I would suggest adding to the home is a tandem kayak since, probably most visitors are couples, and motion-activated lights to the stairs since, at night there are no city lights outside the windows and it's pitch black. Also, while the TVs have apps, they're not actually connected to any accounts.

great cottage

This is a great little cottage right on the creek (with a very active otter during my stay). Love the wood burning fireplace and look forward to staying again. Thanks Dawn.

A Country Thanksgiving

We decided to get away for Thanksgiving week & spent the last 3 nights in this beautiful house, which was immaculate upon our arrival. The indoor fireplace & outdoor fire-pit provided all the comfort we needed, and on Thanksgiving day we received a visit from a small, inquisitive alligator, who swam up in the creek behind the house (plenty far from shore) & kept us company as we enjoyed the fire-pit & Thanksgiving Dinner from the second-floor deck. It was just a beautiful setting, and Dawn our host promptly responded to my many inquiries via email. I really hope we can make it back again.
