The little cottage is very accurately depicted in the listing. We enjoyed the shady courtyard and privacy fence with our dog. The courtyard is a shared space with other guests but the other couple with dog were super friendly and our dogs had fun together. It was so nice to have a well equipped kitchen and laundry machines during our stay. The beds were super cloud like and comfy. Very walkable to local shem creek park and multiple restaurants. Although in a very busy spot, the parking and private outdoor space felt very relaxing and soothing.

Cute little cottage, conveniently located! We enjoyed our stay - do wish there was more grass on the property for the pup, since it is asked to not allow dogs to urinate on the grass inside the fenced yard.
