Lovely Corttage in a Cozy Location with a Great View
My husband and I, along with our two dogs, stayed for a couple nights in this adorable cottage. It has a spectacular view and sits right on the water. It is so quiet and serene, and you can walk around the neighborhood or downtown so easily. The kitchen is better than expected with updated appliances, and just about everything you need to make a nice meal (and a good amount of counter space). The cottage is well furnished inside and out with plenty of places to sit, and all choices are comfortable! I will 100% recommend this place to anyone headed this way.
Things to keep in mind:
-The parking situation is super tight, it is between two buildings, I don't recommend bringing too large of a vehicle. Or multiple vehicles depending on the size.
-The bedrooms and bathroom are on the second floor (for anyone with trouble climbing stairs).
Thank you, Mia. We truly appreciate the accommodations!

Beau cottage avec une belle vue super tranquille. Plusieurs choses à réparer à l’interieur par contre: ( mousticaires défectueux ou manquants, chasse d’eau toilette, vitres très embués, etc.)
