Cozy Cottage Charm

The cottage was beautifully kept and like a step back in time as soon as we walked in the door. We did the short walk to the beach and the walk to the overalls, and both were beautiful! We had a great time and would definitely recommend it.

So charming

Great place to stay in a great location. We had a minor hiccup with the water system but the owner was over right away to fix it. Loved this charming cottage, and a gorgeous beach and the Overfalls swimming hole were just minutes away on foot.
