Wonderful Cottage on the Pond
My husband and I, with our 4 dogs, had the pleasure of staying at this comfortable cottage for 2 months. The kitchen was well supplied and the beds were comfortable. The neighborhood is very quiet and people we met on our daily dog walks were very friendly. We especially loved feeding the ducks and water birds on the pond. To top it off, Lauren & Diane were exceptional hosts, very responsive, making sure we were comfortable and offering suggested activities, but never being intrusive. Patrick, the maintenance/yard man was so nice, as well. You won’t go wrong choosing this property.

Why they chose this property

I love this neighborhood and my neighbors. The backyard is so peaceful especially in the mornings with all the birds chirping and ducks quacking. The house is clean and minimal, keeping the space light and airy.
