The cottage was perfect for our stay. The location is great for visiting all the sights, shopping, and dining in the area. But, we could have just stayed at the cottage, relaxed, and Bern perfectly happy.

The cottage was well stocked and spotless and very welcoming. My only suggestion is that I would like the bed linens to be laundered in scent free detergent. I have allergies to many scents and I know that many share my problem. ‘We enjoyed the area and loved the cottage.

We can’t say enough about how wonderful our stay was at this cabin! It was right on the water with a beautiful view. The village is gorgeous, the pier is so fun to walk and be out on the water anytime you want. It was centrally located to everything that we wanted to see and everyone we wanted to visit. We will definitely be returning!
Beautiful sunroom overlooking the view!
My favorite morning walk!

Wonderful view, easy location, very clean. Easy in and out. I would have said excellent except the pull out couch mattress is very uncomfortable and it gets very bright in the living room in the morning without curtains. Kind of a small thing too, but there wasn’t enough TP, lol.

Almost perfect

We enjoyed our stay here. The property, location, view were great. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars is the listing advertised a washer/dryer but when we arrived, the instruction book told us we weren't allowed to use it.

Awesome and relaxing stay!

This cottage right by the water was such a lovely relaxing stay. The house was comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, and the couch was comfortable! It was easy to find the cottage, as it’s in a great location (relative to downtown). My only gripe is that I didn’t stay one day longer! I look forward to returning!
