Built in 1912 I recall. Place was clean, kitchen was adequate for cooking, small square footage. Towels and linens were clean. Two things I noticed were that the floor was very cold even with socks on and heat turned up and that the furnace which is located in a closet in the living room was very loud making watching TV and talking difficult. Solid 4-4.5 star. Check in was easy and parking is in rear from alley.
House is very comfortable, well stocked and easy to find. Parking is limited and behind house but seems very safe.We really enjoyed coming "home" to our little cottage after a fun day out with family.
