Jennifer was an amazing host! Even with a small miscommunication because of the website, she was able to accomodate us and make our stay an awesome one. The property is really idyllic and perfect for a gettaway. It's cozy, comfortable and the little porch outside to watch the stars at night is pretty dope. I highly, highly, recommend this cottage.

Perfect!

We couldn't ask for better. Our trip was due to a family medical emergency, and after nonstop chaos and stress, it was so nice to sit outside in the peace and quiet.
