Quiet little house in the woods

My elderly mother and I stayed here while visiting family nearby. The house was a cute, clean quiet home for us to return to in the evenings. The host had lovely baskets of toiletries and towels in each bedroom. Bedrooms and beds were large and comfortable. We saw deer wandering through the yard each morning. Kitchen, dining room and living room were a little small but had all the things you need. Thanks for the nice place to stay.

Perfect little spot

We arrived after dark, and found lights on waiting for us. The cottage was exactly as described and beautifully appointed. We couldn’t have asked for more, everything that we could possibly need was there.
