Enjoyed the Carrage House

The carrage house was very quite and private. The location for walking around town is very convenient. Wish we could have stayed long enough to meet the chickens. Would stay again.

Perfect

As soon as we walked in the door, the soothing sound of classical music hit our ears. The entire place felt warm and welcoming. The cottage had a cozy yet sophisticated feel. It warmed my heart when I found the two homemade chocolate chip cookies on the counter for us when we arrived. Beautiful, clean, and comfortable stay. One of the best places booked for an overnight getaway.

Our daughter goes to college here and it was absolutely the perfect place to get to spend a little time with her, order DoorDash for dinner, visit and then take her back to her dorm. This is definitely a gem in this small town

Cute cottage for the win!

This place is so cute. It’s very clean and the hostess always bakes cookies and puts them in the kitchen for us. It’s a beautiful property as well & close to downtown. We always stay here when passing through town!

Baked cookies waiting for us upon arrival. The bathtub was large and relaxing to take a bubble bath in, the entire home was clean, the full kitchen was nice to cook in and the king-sized bed was comfy. Will definitely be returning. Loved all the candles and candle holders.
