Oh Bee Haven

We had a delightful stay at this charming cottage. It boasted more space than we needed, and the bathroom was absolutely fantastic. The cozy couches and beds were comfortable, and the spacious kitchen was a chef’s delight. The secluded location added to the overall charm of the place. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway. The host provided an extensive list of recommendations in the area which was very helpful.
