Perfect get away

This was the perfect place for a little romantic get away for our anniversary.Still close enough to the convenience of restaurants and stores but not too close! They even left us a little gift for our anniversary.

The place was quaint and comfortable but the bathroom shower needs updating

We enjoyed our stay but the shower’s water pressure was weak and the temperature fluctuated frequently from warm to hot to colder. The tub is unattractive and would benefit from an update. Other than that, we loved it!
