Every aspect of our return visit to Jacksonville and Ida's Cottage found our approval. The quick return of messages, the stocked pantry, the easy operation of the appliances, and the convenient and quiet location of the home spelled out relaxation for my family. The grocery store is two short walking blocks away, the local restaurants were friendly and accommodating, the walking tours around the village interesting - with friendly residents - all relaxing. Okay, to keep this real, my girls did mention the "crunchy and noisy" mattress covers in the twin-bed bedroom....... but they did sleep well, and so did we. We enjoy visiting Medford, Ashland, and Jacksonville, and look forward to the return. Thank you!
