Oh yeah!

Perfect location. Walked everywhere except twice to the pickleball courts. Lovely place. Spotless. Only concern for us, because we are in our 70's, was stairs & bathrooms were upstairs. We would stay again. Extra bonus was the awesome entrance & backyard!

Great home in a perfect location

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage, really enjoyed walking into the air conditioned living room, rooms and bathrooms were clean and neat, beds were comfortable. Would note that the bedroom on the right needs curtains because there are lights on outside the building that you cant control and they were shining bright all night long, there are curtains in the other room so please add these in for future guests in the 2nd bedroom.

Perfect for Parents Weekend at CofC

We were in town for parents' weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You can walk everywhere! The beds were amazing, the bathrooms great—small but perfect, and each room had its own bath. The living room was a great size, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the little back yard was perfect for an evening glass of wine. This is a wonderful home, and we will be sure to stay here again.
